    “You can see the pouring Milky Way in New Zealand's South Island!”

    We went on a trip with three people and it was amazing! It was one of the accommodations I was really satisfied with for the price! It was one of the good places we stayed during our trip to New Zealand! The shower and restroom were shared, but they were well-maintained, and the kitchen was spacious and nice! Talking with people from various countries made the time fly by! There is no cell reception! However, there is Wi-Fi, so it wasn't a problem. At night, because there is nothing around, you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye! After sundown, make sure to come out and enjoy stargazing instead of staying in the room~! The downside is that it’s hard to get there without a car..! I think it’s a great place to stay for budget travelers who rent a car and go on trips.
