Property located in a lovely garden which sheilds from road noise. Having said that garden needs some attention. Clean, well equipped. We enjoyed our stay.
Lovely cottage . Superbly renovated with everything forcself catering . Large fridge . Only 30 minutes to Reefton . Rural setting sheep grazing with mountain scenery . Double glazing . Nice fire if cool. Recommended.
Kim’s cottage was a cozy cottage right in the heart of Lewis Pass. Kim was super responsive and very helpful. Kim’s place was perfect for our 3 day stay. It had a good functional kitchen, with ample space for me and my husband. It had a few nice outdoor places to sit for a cup of tea, and nice views of the mountains. It was clean and well provided with linens and towels and the basics to shower and do laundry. I would highly recommend Kim’s place in Springs Junction.
