About this property

1 bedroom character cottage

Relocated miller’s cottage with one bedroom, lounge and fully stocked kitchen. Only minutes to the beach, lagoon and walking tracks.

Big doors go into deck and there is a firepit and outdoor bath for relaxing under the stars.

The couch pulls out to a bed which would be suitable for kids if you desired.

A hidden gem!
Both Okarito and Millers cottage are hidden gems! The house is relaxing and well furnished/equipped. There is a great view of the mountains on a clear day. We were lucky to see NZ Fern birds! arou

Quiet location with excellent facilities and walks
Hidden away from the quiet road, this was a delightful place to stay. Easy walking around Okarito with a great walk a minute’s stroll from the property. Everything you needed to make meals at home. Not far from Franz Josef if you have activities planned here. There are also places in the village to book tours. Only a 5 minute walk to an amazing beach too. Would recommend it!

Communication needs to improve markedly we had to approach the neighbours to get information about the code for the key no phone number to ring or email or text hopelessly inadequate

Quiet Cottage near the beach
Okarito is very much out of the way, and this cottage is a great place to get away from it all! We used this as a base for the Franz Josef area, but also enjoyed the sights around Okarito, especially the beach. Beautiful sunsets, too! The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped. Great place to stay!

Okarito House
The bach was very comfortable and warm. Close to walking tracks and the lagoon.. The high tech oven took a bit of working out. Great shower and comfortable bed. Saw a white heron near the Okarito village and enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon and walking in the beautiful forest. A beautiful area. Helen

Better than the pictures
We loved this cozy cottage in okarito. It is better than the pictures show. Very pleased. Nicely decorated and clean. Quiet and private. The clothes dryer indicated in the amenities is a drying rack so no electric dryer. We cut our visit short unfortunately due to rainy weather locally to catch a guided hike in Wanaka on a clearer day but regret not having more time to spend in the area. Highly recommend and would choose to stay here longer.
