Perfect spot

What a great place to stay. It was close enough to town to walk and yet far enough away to keep it nice and quiet. We will definitely come back next time we are lucky enough to travel to New Zealand.

This stay was part of a long trip around Nww Zealand. This property was ideal for us as we had booked a trip to Milford Sound, the pick up was a short 7 minute walk away. We were within walking distance of the town’s amenities. The accommodation was comfortable and we felt very safe. All the staff we met were lovely and helpful, they made getting our bearings very easy. Thank you.
