We had a lovely couple of days in Okarito. The house is comfortable and convenient placed within the small village. Thank you.
Brooke King
Such a great location for kids, plenty of room. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was super warm and well equipped. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks again Brian and Raewyn!
Andrew Kulha
Great stay for our two young families. Loved that it was close to the highway but remote too. Kids had a great time running on the beach and on the kayak tour of the lagoon.
