We had the best stay in South Island here at the Kea Retreat. Our host Iona and Graham were superb. The property is in a pristine condition and excellently managed. We enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. Would love to stay again.

Everything was great. Very decent size house with a large lounge/kitchen space, 3 big rooms, and 2 spacious bathrooms! Fire place with heaps of woods prepared in the garage. Fast wifi, oh, the last room, which is at the end of the corridor, doesn't get strong wifi, but it didn't really bother much. Really nice host with a prompt response. A few days before our booking, there was an unexpected road closure. I got worried and texted Mel. She was super helpful, giving all the details and information that she could get. From that information, she said that the road work would be done before my check-in date. And she kept me posted until the road work was finally done, which was really kind. (In the end, the road reopened even before the scheduled date.) We absolutely loved this place. So happy that we could make it to Franz Josef! As soon as we checked in, I contacted Mel to extend our stay, but sadly, it was already booked(no wonder!) I'm definitely coming back when I'm back in town next time =)

    What a stunning place! Made of wood with amazing quirky interior. We had all the cooking utensils we needed and a lovely outside area. My son and I loved the hot tub and the Sauna, while my husband and I went to the hot pools just 5 mins down the road! I awoke to glorious birdsong. The Monsoon Restaurant served a mean breakfast! I only wished we could stay longer!

    The hostel was unbelievable, after a day of intense hiking it was great to have such a comfy bed and lovely duvet cover. It was honestly so cosy. A nice surprise was thrown in as well when a limbo was called to pick us up from the hostel and bring us to a bar where we all had pizza together which was really special. This is an extremely friendly hostel and the overall vibe of the place is very positive. There is also a hot tub which adds a nice touch.

    Very nice quiet setting with many bird sounds. Loved the option to barbecue and use the hot tub and sauna. Loved being close to town but far enough away to enjoy the quiet.

    Loved our stay at Kahere. The cottage was well stocked for our two night stay. Warm and cosy and the bed was super comfy. The cottages are quite small, we had 3 in our party and I wouldn’t have wanted many more than that, but we were comfortable. Only way of improvement would be a hot tub on the deck, and a fire place, then I’d never leave, but even without those things, it was a magical experience.
