With mountain views on three sides, the cottage is 22 km from Hokitika on the road to the stunning Hokitika Gorge. It was built in the 1950's for the farmer's father on a small terrace to keep it high and dry. Beautiful original wooden floors throughout complement the rustic and eclectic decor. Modern renovations are in character and great beds assure a comfortable sleep. The covered deck was built to the sun and allows all weather outdoor living. On a clear night, stars fill the sky.Farm machinery, cows, milk tankers, are seen occasionally. More often you do see and hear cars heading for the gorge. The Hokitika Gorge Scenic Reserve is 10 minutes away as is the character filled Kokatahi pub and cafe. Lake Kaniere with hiking and swimming is 20 minutes away. Off the main tourist trail, Camelback Cottage is a great place to relax and unwind.

    The host is an excellent communicator - loads of details provided about the house ahead of time, which meant we knew exactly what to expect. We loved staying a short drive away from Hokitika and really appreciated the space and tranquility this property offered. Awesome spot for a family getaway - just down the road from the incredible Hokitika Gorge.

    Host was very forthcoming about the cottage's 'quirks', which we found delightful. Lots of communications. The cottage had everything we could have hoped for, including a large clean BBQ, which was great for outside cooking. A lovely private spot with stunning mountain views.

    We really enjoyed our stay and the great communication from the owner left no surprises and everyrhing was as expected and better. The sunset and sunrise views of the hills from the living room as well as bathtub and nice big deck were awesome. We'd happily stay here again.

    Nice homely cottage, much like my own. Well equiped and in a nice country location. The the cooker took a bit of practice to operate at the right temperature but we were made aware of that beforehand. Overall a very pleasant stay.

    Great location for local walks/activities. Great views! The fireplace kept us toasty. Quiet with some traffic during peak hours. Cannot fault host’s communication, 10/10! A highlight were the weka family at the gate - tiny weka chicks!
