We had a group of eight people stay in this place after completing the Milford Track. It was a great set-up for a group of both couples and singles, as everyone got their own room and most had their own bathroom - which was perfect after hiking and staying in huts together! The lounge room was cosy with great views, but was a little cramped - although this did not impede our ability to relax together in the evenings. It was useful having a kitchen, however it is also quite small with only the basics (i.e. one small chopping board and a couple of sharp knives) which made cooking for a big group slightly tricky, although manageable.
This place was a bit tricky to find, we didn’t expect it to be part of a large hotel complex/group. There are no staff present at check-in however very clear instructions were sent. It was a little out of town and taxis/ride-share services were expensive/unavailable. However, a water taxi was available hourly at the bottom of the complex which was a fun and cheap way to get into town.
There was a bit of a communication breakdown between the staff who manage the airBnB account and the onsite manager; we had arranged to leave our bags at the accommodation prior to our hike but the message did not appear to get through to the onsite manager. The onsite manager, however, was lovely and very accommodating and was able to help us out with very little notice.
Overall, we would highly recommend this place for a big group like ours and we stay here again in a heart beat.
