We enjoyed this lovely hideaway in off-the-beaten-track Okarito. Everything was pristine. We didn’t have occasion to use the wood stove as the weather was sunny and warm, but would have liked it if we had gotten less luck with the elements. The “trig walk” to the viewpoint of the Southern Alps was so worthwhile, and we appreciated her suggestion to go in the morning if the weather was good, as clouds tend to obscure the mountains in the afternoon. We also walked the beach toward three mile lagoon, and loved comparing it with the ocean beach back home on the other side of the planet.
