Quiet Cottage near the beach
Okarito is very much out of the way, and this cottage is a great place to get away from it all! We used this as a base for the Franz Josef area, but also enjoyed the sights around Okarito, especially the beach. Beautiful sunsets, too! The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped. Great place to stay!

Okarito House
The bach was very comfortable and warm. Close to walking tracks and the lagoon.. The high tech oven took a bit of working out. Great shower and comfortable bed. Saw a white heron near the Okarito village and enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon and walking in the beautiful forest. A beautiful area. Helen

Better than the pictures
We loved this cozy cottage in okarito. It is better than the pictures show. Very pleased. Nicely decorated and clean. Quiet and private. The clothes dryer indicated in the amenities is a drying rack so no electric dryer. We cut our visit short unfortunately due to rainy weather locally to catch a guided hike in Wanaka on a clearer day but regret not having more time to spend in the area. Highly recommend and would choose to stay here longer.

Cozy cottage
This nicely decorated cottage offers a very comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom with a hot shower and a washing machine. Right around the corner are several beautiful hikes, the Okariko Kiwi tour and kayaking in the lagoon. So really, we couldn't have had a better place to stay. Thank you to our hosts who generously share this beautiful cottage!
