Book a Wairaki Cottage

"I cannot sing Kaylene's praises enough. Very kind and thoughtful host, gave us our space but was available for and question we had. Great local knowledge to help us decide on options for day trips around Bluecliffs, Hauroko or Monowai. As for the house, the peaceful rural setting and those beds ... sooo comfortable!! All 5 of us slept like logs. And the heatpump warmed the house up quickly for those of us from the tropics who were struggling with a bit of a sou'wester. In summary, gem of a stay, with a gem of a host in a gem of a place."

"The staff appeared noisy and angry. The walls are paper thin I would not stay here again sorry guys."

"This house is spacious and the kitchen is especially well-equipped for cooking. The host was very responsive and accommodating. "

"The unit is a one bedroom apartment underneath the main house. It was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The provisions in the kitchen were more than adequate. The bathroom was very spacious and having laundry available was very helpful. Ample parking in front of the unit. Geraldine was very gracious and communicative as a host. Who would certainly recommend the unit to other travelers. "

"Basic accommodation, but clean and tidy. Showers could be updated/upgraded"

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was super comfy and area quiet. It was the perfect retreat spot before hiking."

"Host showed us great southern hospitality. The shephards hut is a labour of love and the shower is really that good (waterfall and AMAZING water pressure)."

"We loved the rustic feel and the warmth of the fireplace."

"Awesome place if you’re out these ways. Philippa and Rob are amazing hosts. We got a garden view room with a lovely view. Convenient location. The hosts let us park at theirs while we were on the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. Breakfast was included and it was a clocked breakfast. Will definitely stay again"
