Great weekend stay. The cottage is simple, but charming. Laura is great for quick questions and greeted us when we arrived. There is WiFi to stay connected. The star gazing is amazing and the neighborhood is very quiet allowing for peace and relaxation just 30 minutes from glacial hiking. Franz Josef gets all the tourist traffic and noise, so this place makes for peace and quiet but still close to everything Franz has to offer. You have all the necessities to cook for yourself, just make sure you stop for food before driving into Okarito as the closest shop is 30 minutes away.
