We had a fantastic holiday on Stewart Island staying here. It's only a couple of minutes walk to the ferry/ shop/ cafe or pub. The car is a real bonus for exploring the bays a bit further away. The house is very homely and tidy. The beds are comfy and the shower is hot. The house is very warm, either from the sun in the afternoons or the very efficient heaters. The birds from the abundant bush are a joy to watch and listen to. We saw kiwi on the side of the road just by driving over to Horseshoe Bay late at night - saved an expensive guided tour!!
