Back to basics
A very simple back in a fabulous location. Perfect for a stop over. My son spent hours fishing from the jetty. A perfect location and just a short walk to Furneaux

Wonderful spot on the Queen Charlotte track
Iconic kiwi bach in superb location just opposite the Solitude Jetty, so handy for bags to be dropped off from the water taxi and great for a swim. Perfect for QCT walkers as its right on the track.

Warm and cosy
Despite poor weather we had the most wonderful time at this place. A small 15 min walk and you have a fantastic restaurant and bar close by . Hiked on from here and it was a great stop to rest and relax for a few nights in the magical sounds.

Awesome kiwi holiday home!
A classic kiwi bach in the most idyllic setting. We had the BEST weekend staying here. It's basic (in a good way), clean and tidy with a nice hot shower. The setting couldn't be more beautiful. And hearing the Weka calling at night all adds to the very New Zealand experience. We came by boat and arrived just on dark but had no issue finding the jetty and mooring with Brian's instructions. We will definitely be back.

Don't tell everyone or they'll all want some...
Born in the 80s so we still appreciate all the pristine realics, Tupperware, bone handled knives and other utensils, copper-head-rose ;-) The fun and functional couch, radio and melamine family dinner table. The Bach is perfect for down time. No WiFi, but there are enough mod-cons like a washing machine, TV, kayaks and hot water and the proxity to the track and wharf and private mooring were incredible. We enjoyed coffee everyday sitting on the wharf in the sun. Thanks Brian (please think of us when you decide to sell!), and especially thank you Moira and Steve who are very special locals.
