We loved the location of this cottage, surrounded by flax & without any near neighbours. The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed, with everything needed for a self catering stay. Highly recommended!

Cottage was difficult to find. Elicited the help of a friendly local. Very clean and comfortable inside but surrounded by bushes on the outside. Great quiet getaway but make sure you have all your supplies. Good kitchen facilities. Comfy bed. Enjoyed our stay

Such a fab place to stay! Everything is super comfortable and cosy and the stocked kitchen surprisingly generous. Loved the outdoor bath - anytime of day as the setting is wonderfully private. Ōkārito is incredibly special. The lagoon and waterways, the ocean, the wildlife and birdsong, the forest, the mountains - there is nowhere else in the world like this! Having a great dwelling really contributed to the entire awesome experience. 100% recommend. And such good comms with the host - so easy!

Quiet location, facilities were adequate.Needs a much more thorough clean.Quite a few empty bottles of hand wash etc left in bathroom, not sure if by previous guests or to be refilled for future use.Overall not what we expected for a place that had consistent ratings of 10, whose writing the reviews??

Excellent place for a getaway. The little house was warm and comfortable.

Perfect house for the 5 day getaway I enjoyed. I would not hesitate to recommend it and would certainly book it again when I am back down that way.

Location was great, facilities all you could wish for. I had to clean the shower trap on the first morning, not a big deal for me, however some may have been inconvenienced. The ranch slider to the living room area is a bit tricky to lock / unlock, perhaps the striker plate could be adjusted.I would definitely stay again.

Quiet Cottage near the beach

Okarito is very much out of the way, and this cottage is a great place to get away from it all! We used this as a base for the Franz Josef area, but also enjoyed the sights around Okarito, especially the beach. Beautiful sunsets, too! The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped. Great place to stay!
