The hut itself was perfect for what we needed as a stop gap on our journey from Queenstown to Christchurch. Other reviewers weren't wrong about the shower being great! There were lots of local details in the book provided by Jodans company of the area and restaurants too. We were a little surprised about how exposed the hut is on the plot as the view from the deck looks straight out onto the road. However the location near the shops is very convenient.
