One night stay for trip to Franz Josef

My husband and I stayed here for one night for a trip we were taking to Franz Josef Glacier, which is about 30 minutes away. First of all, you should know that there are no locks on the doors. While we knew that the kitchen and living room was shared, we were also expecting a…

Different, like Okarito itself!

We stayed in nine carefully-chosen motels during our tour of New Zealand so by the end of our trip felt we had a pretty good idea of what standard we could expect. This isn't of course a normal motel, more an upmarket hostel with ensuite rooms, but it serves the same purpose. …

Poor value for the money

Internet was really slow ,(if any) no television, fridge and freezer were hardly cold. More like a low budget backpacker place. The common area were nice and the kitchen had what you'd needed. Expected more !

Response from OkaritoBeachHouse, Manager at Okarito Beach House

Responded Mar 23, 2018

Hi there Lars, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us at the Okarito Beach House. Sorry to hear that you didn't get what you expected with us. We like to market ourselves as a simple, homely haven away from the main tourist trail. Being situated in a beautiful, quaint, "off the beaten track" area does have some drawbacks- one being- not great internet and little to no cellphone service. While I know that now days we rely on things like the internet and television more so- we dont base our lovely haven around having them. Our little community is starting to work towards having such luxuries- but it is a work in progress. There is so much to do and explore outside here in Okarito which is why we dont feel the need to have televisions in the rooms. We appreciate your feed back very much and always endeavour to make our guests stay a wonderful time. Im sorry to hear that we were not able to deliver for you. kindest regards, Mikaela and Will Johnson

Hi, My names lizzie, I live locally in Franz Josef and was referred to Laura by Danny, as he is currently doing some work with our business. Just have a few qs? Interested for a room this coming Tuesday evening? Do you folks allow a dog? How much extra for a late check out? do you have an email I can contact please. Cheers lizzie :-)

Hi Lizzie. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I'm on holiday and the Beach House is closed until Mon 11th July. We do allow dogs, and during the quiet times (up until Nov) we don't charge any more for late checkout. Unfortunately it won't let me post our email address here, but if you google 'Okarito Beach House' our website has all our contact details. Again, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. If there's anything else I can help with please let me know. Kind Regards, Aaron
