We love to spend a long weekend south of Haast. The area is extremely relaxing and there is heaps of options to fish along the rivers, the estuary, from the beaches or Jackson Bay Wharf. And there are some nice tracks around. Sara‘s place was the perfect base for my husband, our Friend and me. Not shown in the pics is the great carport which allows loading/ unloading a car in bad weather in front of the house and where you can hang up wet clothes. You hardly need cell phone or internet there. But we had coverage on Vodafone and 2degrees. There were plenty of rice cookers and a BBQ, but we could not find chopsticks, so bring them if you need them. Garden and deck were great and the estuary is only a 3mins walk away. The place is a great affordable place to stay. More of a bach style, rather than a polished high end stay but with everything you need, some charme and for a very reasonable price.
