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.
