About this Holiday House

Self-contained bach on Watercress Beach Paterson Inlet Stewart Island. Renovations completed late 2016 to "as new". We have reused and recycled as much as possible to maintain the Bach character and providing a high level of comfort. One queen-sized bedroom with ensuite shower and separate toilet suitable for one couple. Well equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, water filter, gas hob, rangehood, electric frypan, slow cooker, stick blender, sandwich toaster, toaster, electric kettle, coffee plunger, and microwave. Luxury bed linen & toiletries, a range of teas and coffee and basic supplies - oil, flour, milk, seasonings etc. TV Freeview, Starlink wi-fi, books, games. Comes with loan car and transfers to and from transport to the island- please top up the petrol when you leave or leave cash to do so. Island electricity is diesel generated so instead of electric heating we have installed a highly efficient diesel heater. The whole place has double glazed windows and fully insulated. No extra charges for linen or cleaning. Please note: 1. there are 22 steps up to the house. Please take this into consideration when packing your luggage. 2. The toilet is accessed through the laundry via a semi enclosed back porch.

Jill Shaw
What a find! Definitely recommend to friends & fellow travellers. A well placed, cleverly designed and well appointed small house perched for best advantage for views across Golden Bay. Would gladly return. Extra foldaway bed & linens were supplied for a small fee which made this home just right for us. Awesome kitchen with everything you could want including tea pots and great mugs & glassware. Top quality and quirky genius touches throughout. Sue & Richard are great hosts: friendly, efficient & communicative.
Judy
Cozy and serene. A very warm welcome from Fiona and Heath. Beautiful views overlooking watercress bay. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable bed. Having a car to run around the island made life easier. We loved staying here.
