Book a Makarora Cottage

"Location was perfect, hiked from the cottage to a bit above the bush line towards Mt Shrimpton for lunch and a great view of the valley"

"We stayed in the house for two nights. It’s clean, however the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all! It’s very inconvenient. We contacted the service team several times but still not work. No hot water for the first day. No hair dryer."

"Great setup, worked really well for two families to holiday together comfortably. Lovely to arrive to the heaters on, super warm house. Thank you!"

"We loved this location, a few minutes' walk to the wonderful Makarora river braidplain. The house is unique: rustic and a little run down. Comfortable enough if you aren't expecting luxury. Some things could use a little updating (i.e. floors and bath fittings) but all this is secondary to the stunning landscape. We enjoyed our 10 days exploring the area--be sure to check out The Craypot fish and chippie at the end of the road over Haast Pass and the Wilkin Jet Boat tours."

"Spent 2 nights in this lovely house w/6 adults. Gusty winds at first but views still can’t be beat. Very well stocked w/cookware, glasses,plates etc plenty for group. Construction of roads a bit confusing & house a little dated (beds) but very comfortable & great open layout for group gathering."
