Perfect for an overnight stop

Liked: Clean comfortable accommodation which suited our needs
Disliked: We could not get any channels on the tv

Superb

Liked: Very nice location for a trip up the Northwest coast of South Island. Close to beaches and Pancake Rocks. A good base to head further up the coast to Cape Foulwind where we saw the seals. It actually could take 4 people but we only had 2.
Disliked: Our cottage was right behind another, so we didn't have a view from inside the place.

Very good

Liked: Simple cottage with plenty of facilities. Beautiful location. Comfortable beds.
Disliked: Basic and a bit dated here and there. No decent views from the cottage. No extractor hood in the kitchen.

Gorgeous setting. Spacious, well equipped....

Liked: Stunning view. Very well equipped. Love the table tennis table. Wished we had longer to stay there.
Disliked: Liked it all.

Superb

Beautiful spot to stay at

Liked: Beautiful location

RataCottage, awesome!!!

Liked: Barrytown coastal route 6 is phenomenal!! Awesome views, comfy cabin. We had Netflix one night. Close to Pancake Rocks, Conservation Visitor Center, both where awesome. Pancake Cafe had great food!! We loved our stay.
Disliked: Unfortunately Rata Cottage, it rained hard the second night. I love the rain, but it knocked out Netflix (cable service). Bummer, but we tried talking to the property manager. She didn't come out to fix it. Poor Chris volunteered to assist, he was renting in RataView where the router/modem is kept. Anyway, we tried.

Disappointing.

Liked: It was comfortable.
Disliked: Very isolated; especially now the Barrytown pub has closed. I thought the lack of provisions was a mistake; a basic breakfast would be helpful.

We’d happily stay at Rataview...

Liked: Amazing views, great space, and convenient, quiet location!
Disliked: We had several people try to enter our place (the big lodge) while we were there, expecting it to be a community center, not another guest house. While we had only friendly encounters, it was a bit unnerving.
