Okuti cabin was one of the best accommodations during our 4 week-South Island trip. There are 2 cottages for renting on Airbnb, but to our surprise, the hosts blocked the other cabin from booking so that we could have our privacy. The sleeping room is well insulated and very warm. The beds were very comfortable and we like the little touches such as essential oil at the bathroom and toilet, not forgetting the information booklet created by hosts catered for Oct/ Nov. The kitchen, eating area and toilet are semi-opened i.e. on the deck and we loved that. There is plenty of time for us to enjoy the beautiful outdoor be it rain or shine.
Elizabeth and Tony are indeed superhosts who genuinely want their guests to enjoy their stays. They are very welcoming and generous to share the little secluded paradise created by them over the years with us. We love the concept of eco-living, and the hosts, Elizabeth and Tony demonstrated to us that it is possible. We were inspired by their project on this land, where 3000 native trees were planted. And not forgetting the maple trees around the cabins. We really hope to come back in the autumn next time to see the layers of colours while relaxing on the deck.
The breakfasts were delicious. We had been spoilt and we felt very lucky to have chosen to stay at their place. Thank you Elizabeth and Tony.
