The house was wonderful and very comfortable for a group of 5 people. It's located on the banks of a river, a short walk to the boat to Doubtful Sound. The house has lots of windows, it feels light and airy, and it is surrounded by trees and flowers. There are no stores in town, but a couple of restaurants are in walking distance. Our only regret is that we were so busy with sightseeing (amazing area!) that we didn't have much time to enjoy this lovely house.
