Cottage in Glenorchy

C Wise Cottage - Glenorchy

If you are inspired by rustic old things and being cosy this cottage is the one. The cottage is well over 100 yrs old but has had some TLC to keep it alive, it is fully fenced with plenty of room for all to zoom around. As with any old place there are quirks and oddities but lying in the big old bath looking outside is a must.The toilet is an oldie but a goody even if it is a hop skip and a jump from the house, I'd advise bringing a torch!!! For the timid, it doesn't have a flush button!!!!!!

A spacious bedroom is presented with warm wooden beams and stone accent walls. A large bed with a light-colored quilt and decorative pillows is centered in the room. Natural light filters through a window, illuminating an armchair and wooden dresser nearby.

What a beautiful place. Amazing views over the river and looking up into the mountains. It was especially wonderful to spend the day on the slopes of Coronet Peak, just 10 minutes drive away, then come back and ease the muscles in the hot tub whilst looking up at the ski field! Michael was also especially kind to sort us out with breakfast for our first morning when we arrived late at night.
