You can play table tennis and darts at the hostel, and the area is popular for hiking and cycling. When you arrive and realise this is exactly the kind of place you’ve always wanted to try, you know you’re in for something special. We were warmly welcomed, with everything explained to us — including a heads-up about road conditions for the next morning (very thoughtful!). If you’re heading to Milford Sound and need a place to stay for two nights, this is perfect. It’s like camping in style — warm, cosy, and surrounded by nature. The peace is amazing, and waking up to that lake view in the morning… wow, pure magic. My tip: stop by a supermarket beforehand and bring something to cook here. You won’t want to leave what I call a truly magical place (for those who value nature and experience over five-star luxury). I can only say thank you for everything.
