Situated in Lumsden in the Southland region, Stump Cottage has a garden. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

The guest house is fitted with a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette features a dishwasher, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. The property has an outdoor dining area. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Cara's cottage for my holiday in New Zealand, and I cannot express how delightful the experience was. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the immaculate cleanliness of the cottage. It was evident that Cara takes great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for her guests. The cottage was equipped with a full suite of facilities and amenities that truly enhanced my stay. Every detail seemed to have been thoughtfully considered, and I very much appreciated the completeness of what was provided. The added touch of a delicious breakfast was also a highlight, and a testament to Cara's exceptional hospitality. In fact, the quality of my stay was so outstanding that I would compare it to that of a 4 or 5-star hotel. Cara's attention to detail, the comfort of the cottage, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Cara's cottage to anyone seeking a truly exceptional and memorable stay in New Zealand.

Each accommodation at the 4-star chalet has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a hot spring bath and a hot tub. There is a children's playground and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. We stayed here as a family and absolutely loved it. The place is spacious, clean and very cosy. The host was lovely and brought us homemade bread. The fridge was stocked with juice, milk, homemade pastries and jam. The heated blankets and very comfortable beds made our stay extra relaxing. The farm atmosphere was wonderful. In the morning, a curious cutest chicken came to visit us🥰. Also we got to feed the alpacas. We will definitely stay here again, and for longer than just one night, as everyone really enjoyed it.
