Great location. Quite a bit outside of the Centre of Oban, but therefore quiet, exactly what we like. You need transport given the distance to the center, but the cars (available for small daily charge) provide that freedom and opportunity. Luxurous cabins. We had the bad luck that during our stay, the water pump broke down, meaning that our cabin didn’t have any running water during 3 out of our 4 days. However, the owner did everything to find solutions (helping us finding a place to shower and getting us drinking water), and compensated us very generously. Therefore, we highly recommend!

The cars were very handy to get around

An island-wide power outage that couldn’t be helped! It’s a good reminder to always travel with some extra food for an emergency meal!

The location, views, privacy and amenities, including a vehicle for touring the island. Our host was exceptional in all ways!

Nothing everything was great!

Exceptional service, Kath, Bill, and Joe, really did go above and beyond to make our stay a lovely experience. Joe was a great help on the first day helping us get ready for our hike and getting settled in Oban, and I cannot thank them enough for the loan of Bill's old hiking shoes (after I forgot mine!) to do the Rakiura Track, just great people really welcoming and so accomodating they made our stay a wonderful experience! The ability to rent your own car (one per cabin) for a very reasonable fee was a super add on. The property had a unique character lovely gardens and setting, the cabins were beautifully appointed and had everything we needed, lovely sitting on the deck with an awesome vista of Horseshoe bay!

What a peaceful spot with the sounds of native birds twittering all around you. A friendly fantail and Kaka come to visit for a chat. Having the ability to use one of their cars was also a godsend and allowed you to explore more of the island. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to stay on the island.

Nothing it was perfect for us

The owner Bill was amazing. Picked up up from town and gave us a tour of the island before taking us to the accommodation which was very lovely. Also supplied us with a small car at a minor cost to get around on the island. would highly recommend!

Despite wandering in my pajamas, with binoculars and a red covered flashlight, the kiwi birds did not come wander across my path. We should've booked a kiwi-spotting tour!

The location was a treat - you look off your porch into the forest - and the cabins were great. You are outside of town, but each guest cabin has a car available for their use (small extra charge for the days you use it) The kitchenette worked well for modest meals (lunch sandwiches, pasta dinner) Bill met us at the ferry, gave us a brief tour and time for a grocery stop. Good hiking advice too! Stewart Island is special and Anchorstone is lovely.

The view from our cabin was absolutely beautiful of the beach. The host picked us up from the ferry and gave us a tour of the town which was very helpful in planning all of our activities. He also gave us great information on the history of the island. The setting was peaceful and lovely and the hosts were so gracious. We would definitely come back. If you can stay here... do!

We wouldn’t have changed anything.

We loved the very comfortable, warm luxurious cottage. Had a lovely ambiance with beautiful landscaping that matched the location in the island paradise of Stewart Island, with beaches and bush walks close by.

An awesome cabin with a very comfortable bed. Luxurious pillows were so comfortable. Beautifully clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The use of a car was the icing on the cake and made it so easy for us to get around the island.

Beach view surrounded in native bush. The use of the car to drive around the island and explore.

It seems picky to mention anything negative about such a great place but bedside tables/cabinets would be useful. I'm not sure what you could do about it but it's a shame to lose so much space to a second (single) bed if you're not using it

We felt so well looked after right from Bill picking us up from the ferry, taking us on an informative and witty tour of Oban and surrounding areas, to settling us into the lodge. The lodge itself is excellent, with a huge comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and a bathroom with a great shower! The car loan was ideal to get around and really appreciated. The lodge is in an incredible location, set in amazing gardens amongst trees, with views over Horseshoe Bay.

Peaceful and secluded The car provided was really helpful and for our sole use.

Owners were super lovely and helped return an item I left on the island asap! They picked us up from the ferry and had a courtesy car we could hire during our stay which was invaluable. Cabins are fairly close to each other but private enough we could enjoy our stay. Had washer and dryer available if needed.

It was hard to sit down for dinner with four of us but we made it. Felt like very posh camping as we bbq’ed in one else and ate in the other. However, it was exactly as described and we loved it

It was immaculately clean, lovely bush, and the kakas were very friendly. Bill was very helpful with information

Stayed in January 2025

very private and quiet

Just a couple of small fly screens to strategic windows in order to get some fresh air without sandflies, and a bit more storage space for clothes please

Delivered its promise of seclusion, comfort and amenities. Bed was super comfortable and the shower was brilliant. Tip to travellers definitely take the on site vehicle offer as you’ll appreciate the wheels when the weather turns in an instant.
