First impressions are everything, so don't be discouraged by exterior appearances. Inside is probably one of the nicest, most renovated stays We've had in New Zealand. The cottage offers a lovely full kitchen, living room and two queen sized bedrooms (perfect if you'd like to have some alone time with yourself). We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was simply amazing! The owner, Tim, is a very nice gent and took care of everything we needed. It made the stay even better. The cottage is also close enough to visit Mt.Cook (in around 45 minutes) and Lake Takepo (in under 30). Highly recommend staying here! (Oh yeah, it also has a washer in the unit so if you'd like to wash your cloths it's perfect for that too).
