True to its name, Whare Kotare provided plenty of opportunities to view its namesake. The cabin is comfortable, very well designed and private. Especially when considering the price, the views are outstanding and the hosts are friendly, relaxed and respectful. It was an ideal base for both chilling out and exploring the area. The kitchen had everything we needed for self-catering, however we also had a great value Sunday roast at the Queen Charlotte Tavern ~1km down the road. Highly recommend Whare Kotare to all sorts of travelers!
