Independent in Merrivale from NZ$70

"We had a great experience with Heather's place! Many of the customers are looking for a sleepout considering its location, cleanliness and other positive things. Gladly, the place has it all. Overall, Heather is a text away for any concerns during our stay. The house is an absolute treat for leisure and business purpose visit with stunning views, and a few minutes walk away from the beach. I look forward for our next booking with the place in the future! "

"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option. "

"Everything was there that we needed. So easy to get to Gemstone Beach and have fun fossiking in the stones. Pub handy, and a nice wee community. "
