What a place! The fiancee and I stayed at the hut for 2 nights with our friend who stayed in a tent just outside the hut. It was like having a mini adventure in our 3 week New Zealand vacation. Check in was quick and simple, just drive up to Danielle's house, which we were given a map of the island and told how to get to the hut. Then you drive to a small field where you park your car and then hike to the hut (we were able to make the walk in 27 minutes each time). Hut is very cozy and clean and has everything you need to cook. We stopped at a grocery store in Picton before arriving and picked up some lamp chops to grill up, so good! One of the evenings we hiked to the very top of the island which was amazing and also an adventure. It took us about 2 hours to get to the top. The entire time you'll be hiking right past all the sheep on the island. Our favorite past time was trying to talk "bahhh" at the sheep. They just looked at us all confused and run off. After the hike the outdoor bath tub was simply amazing. I highly recommend staying at Danielle's hut on Pepin Island!
