“A Great Welcome”
+Merrill's friendly and very helpful welcome was wonderful. The cabins were homely and comfortable. The facilities all worked as advertised, and the showers are particularly good. E liked the rustic charm and the history attached to the place. Of the beaten track, peaceful and calm.

“A functional bolthole in a region where decent last-minute accommodation is rare”
+The accommodation turned out to be genuinely reasonable , rather better than my admittedly modest expectations. The pricing is perhaps a touch on the high side, though in Fiordland, where eye-watering rates appear to be something of a local tradition, it compares quite favourably. Each cabin is straightforward and functional: a bed, a set of drawers, a power outlet , everything you need for a no-frills stopover. It is also worth noting that when my original Airbnb booking in Te Anau was cancelled a mere two days before arrival, this property was a welcome lifeline in an area where last-minute accommodation is extremely hard to come by.
−The property is a little over an hour's drive from Te Anau, which added considerable time to an already lengthy journey to Milford Sound , though given the scarcity of options in the region, there is little choice in the matter. The heater in my cabin failed to work on the first night, which made for a rather brisk evening in this corner of the South Island. The shared kitchen is also quite compact; when several cabins descend simultaneously to prepare meals, the space becomes a squeeze, and the level of spontaneous co-operation required amongst strangers is not always forthcoming. Allow yourself at least an extra hour if you plan to cook, and aim to time your meals outside the peak rush.

“Didn't really work for us.”
+The shared kitchen and lounge area was nice and a great chance to meet other guests. The bathrooms were ok too.
−The bedroom was tired with no side lights and a fair few crawlies. The carpet was tired and worn out. Could do with a spruce up
