The Koru cabin is a surprising delight to us. Karen and Nigel are very hospitable hosts. Nigel received us at the cabin door when we arrived late after dark, and he showed us around about the use of all facilities. The indoor fireplace keep the cabin in August as warm as in summer. The open-air spa outside is very soothing. We also had an amazing star-watching night in the garden, seeing the Milky Way, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Centaurus, Jupiter, Saturn, and some shooting stars, as there’s no light pollution at all! The next morning we explored a bit in their little farm as well. The stay at Karen and Nigel’s place is our favorite during our four-night trip from Haast to Nelson. Strongly recommend!
