Positive: This was a quaint little cottage with an outside bath. You could think you were in the middle of the bush it was so quiet and peaceful. Even though there were other cottages & accommodation facilites on site - all were spaced out & privacy fencing was placed so it seemed you had the place to yourself. Definitely enjoyed our overnight stay.
Negative: No provisions within close proximity so you need to make sure that have what you need before you get there.
Summary: Very enjoyable place to stay & would recommend it.

Positive:
Location was excellent, in Punakaiki with a view of the sea which was perfect. Hosts were amazing - really friendly and accommodating. The beds were really comfortable.
Negative:
The unit, though it had everything you could possibly need, didn’t feel right. It felt more like a dormitory - too many beds for the space, pillows were awful and the flooring wasn’t very nice. It was so close to being perfect it was a shame the little things let it down.
Summary: It could be amazing with a few tweaks. If the tweaks were made we would visit time and time again.
