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.

This place has potential, but a few issues made the stay less comfortable than expected.There were quite a few cobwebs around the ceilings, windows, and curtains, and the floors weren’t clean. Mosquitoes were also a problem. We think the TV remote didn’t have batteries, so the TV couldn’t be used during our stay.Several spaces were taken up with cleaning equipment - the wardrobe was full of a vacuum and trolley, the bathroom vanity had cleaning supplies stored inside, and there was a dirty broom head-up in the laundry. The internet modem was also sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor, which was a bit odd.Some basic items were missing at first (like tissues, no bathroom bin), and the shower drained quite slowly. However, the host did respond helpfully and provided a few of the missing amenities, including a hairdryer and face towels, which we appreciated.On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, and having a full kitchen was convenient for self catering.With a deep clean and some attention to maintenance, this could be a much nicer stay. Hopefully these points help future guests and the host make a few simple improvements.

A hidden gem!

Both Okarito and Millers cottage are hidden gems! The house is relaxing and well furnished/equipped. There is a great view of the mountains on a clear day. We were lucky to see NZ Fern birds! arou

Quiet location with excellent facilities and walks

Hidden away from the quiet road, this was a delightful place to stay. Easy walking around Okarito with a great walk a minute’s stroll from the property. Everything you needed to make meals at home. Not far from Franz Josef if you have activities planned here. There are also places in the village to book tours. Only a 5 minute walk to an amazing beach too. Would recommend it!

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!

Okarito House

The bach was very comfortable and warm. Close to walking tracks and the lagoon.. The high tech oven took a bit of working out. Great shower and comfortable bed. Saw a white heron near the Okarito village and enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon and walking in the beautiful forest. A beautiful area. Helen
