    Excellent location just a short walk to bush walks, and the pancake rocks. The cottage we stayed in had a very nice layout, was sunny and spacious, and had a well equipped kitchenette. We would stay again. The area is gorgeous.

    We spent two nights in the well provisioned cute Rimu cottage with the delightful outside bath and one night in the Mamaku very modern cottage that provides so well for those who have wheelchair requirements. Both were excellent.

    The Hut is cozy and has all needed for a quiet stay, it is in a great location, close to the Scenic Reserve and to Pancakes Rock. Is a very good value for money and owners have great sense of style. Wish I could have stayed longer.
