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!
Lovely property - fantastic peaceful location and the weather played ball!!
The pest control work in the area has really paid off and the birdlife was amazing.
Highly recommended - couldn't ask for more.
Lovely wee place to stay. Situated in centre of Okarito and short walk to beach. Lovely views to mountains from bedroom window. Outside bath a great addition!
3 nights in lovely home , sofa was comfortable to sleep on too! Recommend kiwi tour at bottom of garden and the 3 mile lagoon walk. Lots of birds and empty location . Highly recommended .
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.

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.

Very comfortable stay at this cosy cabin in a fantastic location next door to the local walks, with abundant wildlife around the property and neighbourhood. Would definitely stay again if visiting the coast!
Millers Cottage is a great place to stay.Modern,clean well equipped.Great shower,aircon,TV,comfortable bed.Short walking distance to sea.Private location.Highly recommended.
Wir haben die wenigen Tage in einem kleinen schönen Cottage sehr genossen - von den Sandflies einmal abgesehen. Im Gegensatz zu einigen anderen Unterkünften, ist hier alles vorhanden, was man für einen Aufenthalt benötigt. Man merkt, dass die Vermieterin hier auch hin und wieder selbst wohnt und weiss, worauf es ankommt.
Wir können Millers Cottage uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
This nicely decorated cottage offers a very comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom with a hot shower and a washing machine. Right around the corner are several beautiful hikes, the Okariko Kiwi tour and kayaking in the lagoon. So really, we couldn't have had a better place to stay. Thank you to our hosts who generously share this beautiful cottage!
Beautiful cottage..really comfortable with everything you need. We loved it. Watch out for the marauding kea's though...recommend taking a spare set of wiper blades!!! Fantastic place in one of NZ's most beautiful villages.
Lovely relaxing stay in this nice little cottage. Clean and comfortable, plenty of space for a couple. Lovely to have so many birds around the house. Great location, handy to the walking tracks.
