    It was large clean and very comfortable- had plenty of room to spread out. Location was perfect- quiet yet close to town. Having laundry in the apartment was fantastic.

    A spacious and comfortable unit with friendly, helpful hosts. We really enjoyed the Milford Sound tour that they organised with the exceptional guide, Jamie. Very effective heating and good parking. Close to town centre with variety of restaurants.

    The cottage has everything that we needed for the stay. Very convenient to have a washing machine and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and kitchenware. The Fiordland Tours to Milford Sound was fantastic, highly recommend to book with...
