This remote accommodation is exactly for the kind of people that don't mind going to the grocery store and hiking in a half hour to a little slice of nature and heaven. The hut is immaculate, and charming. The toilet is compostable, and the flies can be a bit of a bother, but if you have ever enjoyed camping this place will be a dream. We opted for the cheese platter and breakfast, and were delighted by the lovely assortment of local cheese , meat, and accouterments. Bring in your own food or do the option of ordering groceries ahead. You don't want to have to hike back out to get food. Also know that a "chilly bin" is a medium size electric cooler (that operates as the refrigerator), and there is no oven.
The views from the hut are spectacular! If you hike to the top of the island you can see across Marlborough Sounds. We only took a quick dip in the water because we were nervous about the rip-tide. Highly recommend booking this spot if you are up for a bit of off the beaten track adventure. This was the highlight of our trip.
