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
