stay...just a little bit longer

Stay for the beach sunsets & Okarito lagoon sunrises....

Accommodation packages are available for whatever length of time you have to spend - from one night or more.  Okarito is a wonderful place to base yourself for a few days or even a week to explore the West Coast.  Just 25 minutes to Franz Josef, 45 minutes to Fox Glacier and plenty to see and do right in Okarito. 

​From the Trig Track and 3 Mile Lagoon walks, beach walks and the nearby "Pakehe walk", or for extended hikes visit the Department of Conservation centre in Franz Josef.  

We are excited to now be managing two different accommodation options here in Okarito -  Summit Lodge & The Royal Hutel.  Please feel free to book these independently (links provided below) or contact us.  Either way, we are happy to apply a small  discount when you stay and tour with us and appreciate you choosing us for your holiday experience!

Summit Lodge
Summit Lodge
Your booking here includes two ensuite bedrooms that can sleep up to 5 (2 king beds or king singles plus 1 single) and features an open plan lounge and full kitchen, cosy woodburner for chilly evenings for gathering around.  The house is situated off the main road of the village where it is lovely and quiet with the surrounding trees that are often visited by kereru and tui's so you can birdwatch right from the lounge or deck. 
Listen for ruru - owls and rowi - Okarito brown kiwi, calling at night.  You can book directly online, or email us for more information.

The "Royal Hutel" - is a delightfully quaint and quirky "tiny home away from home". Its eclectic title is derived from its historic namesake, The Royal Hotel which once stood on these and surrounding grounds.    Complete with cooking facilities, bathroom, king bed and sofa, there is also a sweet little front deck surrounded by bush with table and chairs for morning tea and evening wine.  Situated front and centre in the middle of the village, it is at the same time tucked away and surrounded by bush.  Just a few minutes walk to the forest tracks, beach and Okarito lagoon.  We love the Hutel and hope you do too!
You can book directly online, or email us for more information. 

Covid Note:  We understand the uncertainty and difficulty in planning time away these days.  If you book our accommodation direct online and need to cancel due to travel restrictions or health concerns, we are more than happy to refund you in full or offer a credit for another time.
If either of the above options are not suitable or already booked,  we can also help to coordinate one or more of our local friends' holiday houses for you in conjunction with a tour or workshop - just contact us for more information and we are more than happy to help.
