HI Raewyn, so pleased you enjoyed your time in Okairto. Sorry about the wood - we went through a surprising amount for a few winter bookings and had to get in an emergency supply - will plan for more next year! Love to have you come back again anytime, cheers, Paula

Ah now I am doubly sorry in the end that offered "upgrade" for our place didn't work for you - darn!..But everything here noted, unfortunately this is the 2nd comment we have had about the wood, we had a winter supply go "missing" (hence the new locked door) and had to get an emergency supply in August - not ideal but did the best we could on that. But for any supplies, just a note - email or message - would have resulted in a quick remedy with supplies delivered to the door - we have an ample supply on hand, but obviously not topped up for your stay but we would easily have had any supplies you found you were short of brought to you. We will have the stove checked and appreciate your letting us know about that. The electric blanket is new to me, someone must have left it as we do not have them in that house - am guessing for next winter that would be a plus! It is not usually rented much during the winter, and other than the other wood comment I think everyone has been most comfortable. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Okarito ambience and thank you again for your constructive comments - we will attend to all the details you have brought up.
