Book a Makarora Cottage

"My favourite place to stay in new zealand. Relaxing, friendly staff and delicious food!"

"Loved our overnight at Birdsong! The deck and hot pool were great for bird listening and spotting. We had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Quirky and old school amenities with all the good stuff.If we are being picky We could have done with a second set of towels as we used the hot tub and needed a shower the next morning. Also struggled with the fire as kept going out, maybe flue needs cleaning? Heat pump was more than adequate to keep us all warm and cosy!"

"Amazing accomodation at Lake Hawea. House was immaculate and had all you need for a lakeside holiday. Enjoyed the outdoor fire and hot tube after being out on the lake. "

"The chalets are so cute and comfortable, and they had the heater running before I checked in so I could be toasty and warm in winter. It's a little rustic but charming and has a view of beautiful stars at night "

"Excellent place to stay. Excellent communication. Heat pump and fire for cold weather. Comfortable and warm beds. Great set up for a family. Had everything we needed. "
