Nice waterfront setting, far away from any public places. Tavern on 7km is nice, good and cheap food. Room is next to public area with just a glass panel door in between. If you are looking for very basic, this will be to your enjoyment, no seconds for us....

Thanks for taking the time to review us Paul. We're pleased you like our waterfront setting, but disappointed to read you found our accommodation to be very basic, as our facilities are often why other guests rate us very highly. We appreciate your room is adjacent to the communal guest area, however we are very small homestay property, so it's not really a 'public area' and in fact, there was only one other guest staying the night you were with us. Apologies our style of accommodation isn't suitable for you, but many thanks for staying & reviewing us.

Perfect
Fantastic quiet spot overlooking the start of Queen Charlotte Sound. Very peaceful and picturesque. Stayed the the bay view apartment which was well equipped with views over the Sound. Private patio space allowed outdoor bbq, would love to return and stay for longer. Ideal for people wanting walking,biking and kayaking and peace and quiet.

Relaxing stay
We had two lovely quiet nights at Anakiwa - the bed was comfy and the kitchen well stocked. We walked the Queen Charlotte Track for one day and were dropped off by private boat - very convenient and enjoyable! Thanks!!

Lovely self catering home
Stayed 2 nights. Quaint, peaceful, and relaxing. The owners were gracious and helpful. A totally different and better experience than staying in a hotel! Full kitchen to use along with fresh herbs and lettuce from the garden!

Beautiful setting
Really friendly owners, lovely scenic location at start of queen charlotte track. Communal kitchen but no one else was staying when we were there - if others were there it could depend on what they were like.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're disappointed to hear you found your room to be noisy - our guests are usually very respectful of each other in our homestay. It was nice to read you appreciated any tips we gave you on exploring the area. Kind regards & enjoy the rest of your travels.

Kontaktmoeglichkeit
weil alle Gaeste dieselbe sehr gut ausgestattet Kueche nutzen, kommt man unweigerlich ins Gespraech. Wir hatten sehr interessante Mitgaeste. Das Anakiwa401 liegt aesserst ruhig gelegen am Ende der Strasse und dem Beginn des Wanderweges. Die Zimmer sind sauber, gut ausgestattet und die Gastgeber sehr nett.
