Excellent birthday weekend getaway

We had an excellent 2 night stay at this charming, alternate hut with outdoor bath, which we used both nights. It was exactly what we were looking for and as far from a generic hotel room as you can get, memorable!

We were blessed to have our stay at Stargazer in Riverton. Nothing disappointed us. Every little extra had been thought of and provided for us. The under the stars bathtub was really special.. And the shower was hot and great water pressure! Based at Riverton we did and saw lots. "

Cute little cottage very well equipped with everything you need for a quiet time away. A quick walk to the wonderful beach and had the joy of watching a seal at play in the river.

Exactly as described, cosy and cute

Repeat guest, this still remains the best place to stay in Riverton for a secluded little getaway. Exactly as described, and even with the inclement weather this visit, still didn't put a dampener on our chilled out weekend. Still even managed to get a soak in the outside bath in.

Great Crib

Awesome crib, close to Riverton. Clean and tidy, and all the necessary amenities. Really nice and cosy, great bedding and bed, and nice and private. Short walk to town, and Riverton is a great spot in a beautiful area. Recommended.

Peaceful & Private

We loved staying in this cute little cottage set amongst the native plantings and really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and privacy. The cottage had everything we needed, with a very comfy bed and shower with great water pressure. Loved walking along the beach collecting shells and exploring the wild, windy and totally beautiful pebble beach beyond Riverton. Wonderful place for a nature loving couple to stay. Thank you for all your fantastic communication and having us to stay :)

peaceful and relaxing

We stayed for 4 nights in this lovely little spot. It was everything that we expected and more. Bonus the big shed to dry out our camping gear after travelling down the WesCoast in the rain. We had lovely weather, enjoyed the outdoor bath and everything we needed was there. And you let us bring our dog, so thank for sharing your little piece of paradise. Definitely worth a visit and a great base to explore Invercargill and Bluff areas.

Fabulous peace after crazy three years

Very cosy. Everything needed was right there. Comfortable bed. Kept warm with heat pump. If you want to get away and commune with nature in peace and quiet this is for you. Fabulous local coffee bars and exceptional restaurant at Orepuki. Very friendly locals. We loved it!

Glamping!

The Cosy Cute Hut was just as described! Cosy, cute and in a wonderful setting. Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to make use of the picnic table but we did use the tub! Walking into town along the beach was wonderful. It was a great base for us to explore the Catlin's and Doubtful Sound and come back to peaceful surroundings. It could use some storage room for our clothes (we moved some things from a drawer into a bag and stored it under the bed during our stay).

If I could give more than 5 stars I would

Amazing little crib getaway. The place is well looked after, has everything that you could need and as many reviews state, the outdoor bath is the final finishing touch. Even managed a shooting star or two. Can not recommend this place enough. I know we all say we'll be back, but I'll put money on it this time. Chris, Jo and Ollie the dog.

Like a 'Tiny home' experience

Clean, and amazing what is provided! Quirky and warm. The range of what was offered in terms of a pantry and for cleaning and bathroom products was the best we've ever experienced through such groups as Bookabach!

what a break!

Fantastic- the bach was gorgeous & cosy, the shower water pressure was wonderful & the gas hot water neverending!! The highlight was viewing the stars from the outdoor bath. Only down side was the area it was in- thought it was nearer the water than in town- but this all faded into insignificant after the outdoor bath!!!!
