This was a peaceful place to stay, a very hilly and gravelly 15 min walk from the wharf. The beds were comfortable, as was the lounge area, and there was plenty of hot water for showers (very important after finishing the Rakiura track). If you have much luggage (especially something rolling), I would recommend getting transport to the flat the first time you go. There was heaps of birdsong, and many visits from kereru and tui's. We even spotted a kiwi just down the hill from the house.
