Very nice place a little uphill. You wake up by the Sound of the birds. Excellent pick-up service from the ferry with short introduction tour in Oban. Highly recommended.

Very cosy and comfortable accommodation and friendly and helpful staff. There were some cheaper options in Oban, but my lodge was worth the money.

Great place to base oneself before & after Rakiura Track tramp. Rooms are clean as are the bathrooms, lots of towels available at the showers. Food was delicious especially the local Blue Cod. Would stay there again.

The stay was magnificent: so tranquil and beautiful. The birdlife was fantastic. We fell asleep to the sound of kiwi and ruru and woke up to the song of tui and korimako. The facilities were modern, clean and beautiful with a lovely patio with a nice bbq. I'll definitely stay here again. The only thing I regret is that we only booked it for one night!

Lovely self catering facilities. We enjoyed a pasta dish we prepared in the electric frying pan which worked out pretty well and was easy to clean. Enjoyed the location and we were able to let our ten year old walk to the four square on his own and Rakiura is the only place on earth that feels safe enough to do that.
