After having always just passed through Haast on our way north or south, we decided to take it slowly this time. Robyn's place is fantastic - large, has all essentials for making your own breakfast and cell coverage is fine. There are lots of things to explore around Haast just to the north and towards Jacksons Bay that stopping makes a lot of sense. If you are after some raw nature without the tourists, this is the place to go. We had a great time and wonderful stay.
