Such a cool place.
What a cool place! Shane made it so easy to get settle. All was prepared for us. We had a great stay and a nice walk in the beach at sunset. We loved the funky space and all the artful auditions

Loved everything about staying here!
The cottage is very cleverly designed and very functional. We cooked our meals (no restaurant in Okarito). The kitchenette was very adequately provisioned with cookware. The breakfast items provided were generously ample for our three breakfasts. The bed was very comfortable. Okarito is a very special place! If we find ourselves back in this part of New Zealand, we hope to stay at Code Time again!

The property was very unique due to the creativeness of the building itself. Lots of weird and wonderful features

Rustic
Worked well for us but very basis so not for everyone. Lots of space. Wood stove in living/sleeping area is nice extra. Located a little distant from Franz Josef Glacier but not that far. It’s right on the coast in the middle of a kiwi sanctuary. We didn’t see any as it was raining while we were there.

Cozy with al the necessaities
We arrived in the dark so a little difficult to find, but once we got in the black sands, we loved it. So comfortable and everything was just as described. Such a neat place, Shane is quite the host!!

A good location for a stopover.
Enjoyable location to stop with a spectacular beach nearby and a feeling of being at the end of the road! The accommodation itself was like a bunkbarn, but well designed and equipped. We had a happy evening and night there.

Fantastic getaway with great comfort and design
Intelligently planned and well-built living space which maximized lovely sky views, functionality and privacy. Close to the beach and close to the glaciers and beautiful sunsets. A treat with excellent service and preparation from the owner. He even has a booster to enhance cellphone service which was vital for us. Great WIFI. We wish we could have stayed longer.

nice and cosy stay with all nice facilities
We had very good experience there. I would definitely recommend this place. Just a bit of advice that it is in a very small and isolated town but is safe, if that's ok with you then it's an awesome place to spend a couple of days

Very secluded bed and breakfast
We had the best nights sleep as it was so quiet and the bed super comfortable . It was a surprise to find no TV, radio etc but it made for a more unique experience in such a tranquil setting 5 minutes walk to the beach!!

way out and quite
It was a very quite place, but only 15 mins drive to Franz Joseff. Spacious. It does not have tv but that did not bother us. Wifi good.

Relaxing and Scenic.
Great room, with plenty of space, and great views to the hills. Nice rustic/beachy touches in the decor. I will for sure stay there again.

Good stopover place near glaciers
Nice and spacey place near the glaciers. Room was clean and kitchen had good equipment. Okarito is so small and dark place that nightsky and stars are amazing.

Unique and precious place
The Code Time Lodge is close to the beach in the beautiful little village Ōkārito. If you love hiking and nature it’s an absolute recommended place to stay. Franz Josef Glacier is just half an hour (by car) away. Shane is a cool host who built the lodge all on his own.

Schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
Zimmer befindet sich im hinteren Teil eines Anbaus und hat den Charakter einer Wellblechhütte! Heizung grundsätzlich nicht vorhanden, ein Raum ist über einen Elektrolüfter beheizbar. Lage: direkt am Sumpfgebiet - sehr viele Mücken

Wunderschön und gemütlich
In Okarito gibt es nur ganz wenige Übernachtungsmöhlichkeiten und keine Restaurants. Das Code Time bietet seit kurzem die Möglichkeit, in diesem schönes und verschlafenen Ort zu übernachten. Es gibt nur zwei Zimmer, die sehr modern und gemütlich ausgestattet sind. Von der voll ausgestatteten Küche bis zum Ofen ist alles vorhanden. Unbedingt den Trig Walk machen und bei gutem Wetter die Lagune befahren.
