We were looking for a place to stay a night as we drove from Queenstown to Hokitika, and this place was great! Check-in was simple and the cottage was easy to find.
Everything was spotless, appliances were modern/worked perfectly, and the beds were very comfy. Ben & Brenda were great hosts: kind, proactive with their communication, and easy to contact.
Be warned - they aren’t kidding about the 45minute drive for food (literally nothing around). If you aren’t willing to do that or are arriving late, make sure you bring food for the next meal/day.
However, while you don’t have close amenities, the location is perfect if you’re wanting a quiet place to stay with an unobscured view of the stars at night.
We would absolutely stay here again!
