Pancake Paradise
Great location! Was able to walk to every activity…hiking tracks, beach, restaurants, etc. accommodations were simple but very adequate.Only suggestion would be to replace the coffee press which didn’t filter properly.

Okarito cottage
This little cottage was all we asked for; a bed (with REALLY good reading lights), and good kitchen facilities. Karen was a delightful host, driving us to the start of our walking track, and we enjoyed her art works. Only thing we missed was a view from inside, but plenty to see outside.
