Bridget’s place is the most beautiful property you will ever stay on!
When travelling from Wanaka towards Makarora, this property is a little before Makarora Tourist Centre (around 1 km before tourist centre).
It is surrounded by lush green fields, massive mountains and a river (1 km away from the house). It is relaxing, refreshing and beautiful.
I will suggest you definitely stopover at Bridget’s, if you can, if you are passing by Makarora. That house is every bit worth it. Of course, you will have to carry your supply because there is nothing nearby.
The room is clean, massive and very thoughtfully done up. It is like a luxury hotel suite! You have a small deck kind of space outside the room, where you can sit chatting and star-gazing (if luck permits).
Bridget is a wonderful, warm and hands-on host. She helps you with some guidance on touring around Makarora. Her tip for us to see Fantail Fall was excellent as that was the best fall we saw around there.
