Karaka Cottage was the most perfect getaway and end to our South Island trip. Elspeth welcomed us on arrival and took us down to the cottage which was a great little intro to the area and space. We felt so at peace over the time we stayed and enjoyed both nights sitting outside watching the birds and the tide. The bach (cottage) was very clean and cosy. Highly recommend making use of the outdoor bath, which was most definitely a standout from our stay! Thank you, Elspeth, for making our stay so comfortable! We really hope to come back!
