spacious layout

self-catering facilities

serene experience

soundproofing issue

We had a fantastic time exploring the surrounding bush, and the self-catering facilities made it easy to whip up meals. Our teenagers loved the spacious layout, and we enjoyed barbecuing during the sunny afternoons. It was a serene experience for the whole family.

My wife says that better soundproofing would enhance our stay.

spacious unit

immaculate cleanliness

great central accommodations for explorers on stewart island

my stay was fantastic as the unit was spacious, immaculately clean, and very comfortable, making it the perfect retreat after long days exploring beautiful nearby beaches like bathing beach just a short walk away and the fascinating rakiura museum less than a 10-minute stroll from my door.

kaka sighting

excellent tour

slight noise

We loved our stay, especially when a kaka perched right on our porch and we enjoyed a fantastic kiwi spotting tour under the stars! The sun terrace and garden provided perfect spots to unwind after a day of exploring. Just a tad noisy sometimes, but nothing that spoiled our experience. definitely check out Ulva Island while you're here! 🌟

limited dining options

Friendly service made arrival a pleasure, with a lovely tour of the town provided. Spacious and clean rooms offered ample comfort, while the well-equipped kitchen worked perfectly for self-catering. The location was serene, and the outdoor area allowed us to witness local bird life. However, the noise from nearby roads was noticeable at times, and better soundproofing could enhance the experience further.
