Though a bit old and soddy, this cottage is an absolute must see. We flew down from Wellington and rented a car to drive out for a visit. We were at first struck by the simplicty and effectiveness of the architectural design. Our excitement grew as we approached the door. We didn’t know what to expect! When we opened it we found ourselves in a cage the size of a spacious telephone booth! We closed the door behind us and spent a good hour giving the cottage interior a good visual exploratin. What we saw most pleasing to the optics. There were 2 fire places. It was a bit small but very well organized and maintained by a quiet host with no feet. She was a lovely mild mannered and quiet woman beautifully dressed in a drab soddy old smock. I recommed bringing your favorite pie for the journey. The drive will afford the pie adequate chance to cool down and you can enjoy it either in the cage or on a conveniently installed old sod picnic table near the beautiful cottage. Enjoying your pie with a view of the paddocks and the highway is a great way to conclude the visit. Remember to take home your rubbish. The old sod cottage accepts tips so bring some gold coins. Don’t be a stingy old sod.
