Haast is a lovely little town in a remote area. There are beautiful walking paths to the North and to the South. Bruce & Marc are very caring hosts. We were staying in their hideaway cottage during the heavy rains of March 2019 that took out the Franz Josef bridge and closed the road to Wanaca. Bruce & Marg were in constant contact with us ensuring our safety and comfort. They even allowed us to stay an extra night when all the roads out of Haast we're closed. The wind and solar was no problem, actually preferred when the entire town lost their electricity. The cottage has all the comforts you need. Enjoy the deck and the BBQ or dine at the local Hard Antler pub. The small grocery has all the basics. Thank you Bruce & Marg!
