Our bucket list first stop on our South Island road trip

Lovely location, beautiful property with plenty of space for our family catch up. Only thing we missed were some helpful tips for anyone being new to the region which would be very handy about boat ramp facilities, convenience store etc.

Fishing trip for 60th

Wonderful spot for a group of 4 and a boat. Even though it was a mid winter trip in July we had glorious conditions on the water, good fishing, house was warm and cozy to come back to. Nice and quiet in Okiwi so don't let winter stop you. Plenty of room and everything we needed. We will be back.

Clean and comfortable

It was clean and tidy in a good location. It was a bit tight getting the boat up the driveway. It didn't have the basics like salt/pepper, or tea/coffee/sugar. We had to take extra toilet paper as there wasn't enough for a weeks stay. It was good downstairs having their own shower and toilet. Beds were comfortable and it was warm. Would go back.

Okiwi Bay

House was well set up for serval families. Lovely view out to the bay. However, when we arrived there was only half a roll of toilet paper in each of the toilets. Luckily we had some spare in the car! It was quickly sorted by Jackie overnight. There were no bathmats or hand towels as I would have expected, and no baking paper is provided in the kitchen and it did feel a little bit dirty. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay.
