We highly recommend staying at Andrew's house, you won't get a better view of Lake Rotoiti, Mt Robert and the St Arnaud range unless you are up in the mountains! We stayed for 6 nights and it was great to come back to such a comfortable, well equipped house after a full day's hike. Communication with Andrew was very responsive, self check in is easy and the house has quality appliances and fittings and plenty of room to relax! Nelson Lakes National Park is right on your doorstep, it is a wonderful place to stay.
