This is an amazing Airbnb with spectacular views and history! It has one of the best views we have ever encountered. You can wake up and gaze at the unobstructed views of the mountains in this serene paradise. The surrounding area is very quiet and we enjoyed the clean fresh air & stars. The hut is steeped in history as you are staying at a converted DOC hut that previously was located far in the backcountry - but you get this experience with a lush bed and great shower! The hut has everything you need to enjoy tranquil mornings and evenings. You have multiple options for heat (fireplace, electric, and wonderfully heavy blankets), so you are always cozy no matter the weather. The coffee and amenities provided by the hosts were fabulous so we found ourselves just hanging out in the morning on the porch enjoying the experience. It is ideally located close to the Hokitika Gorge and local hikes. Heather and Jim are the perfect Kiwi hosts. We can't wait to return and experience it again!
