About this property

1 bedroom character cottage

Relocated miller’s cottage with one bedroom, lounge and fully stocked kitchen. Only minutes to the beach, lagoon and walking tracks.

Big doors go into deck and there is a firepit and outdoor bath for relaxing under the stars.

The couch pulls out to a bed which would be suitable for kids if you desired.

A hidden gem!

Both Okarito and Millers cottage are hidden gems! The house is relaxing and well furnished/equipped. There is a great view of the mountains on a clear day. We were lucky to see NZ Fern birds! arou

Quiet location with excellent facilities and walks

Hidden away from the quiet road, this was a delightful place to stay. Easy walking around Okarito with a great walk a minute’s stroll from the property. Everything you needed to make meals at home. Not far from Franz Josef if you have activities planned here. There are also places in the village to book tours. Only a 5 minute walk to an amazing beach too. Would recommend it!

Okarito House

The bach was very comfortable and warm. Close to walking tracks and the lagoon.. The high tech oven took a bit of working out. Great shower and comfortable bed. Saw a white heron near the Okarito village and enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon and walking in the beautiful forest. A beautiful area. Helen

Cozy cottage

This nicely decorated cottage offers a very comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom with a hot shower and a washing machine. Right around the corner are several beautiful hikes, the Okariko Kiwi tour and kayaking in the lagoon. So really, we couldn't have had a better place to stay. Thank you to our hosts who generously share this beautiful cottage!
