Stewart island accom
within walking distance from town ( 6 mins)this cosy , well equipped cottage was the ideal location for our group ( 2 couples) to stay in Oban for a couple of nights . Our Host generously allowed us to drop our bags at the property several hours before check in.

Fit for purpose
Expectations were met. The cottage proved to be a perfect base for a very active 8 days on the island. Only downside was low water pressure in the shower - that said water was hot and did the job.

Expensive and very basic
This cabin was clean and adequate for our basic needs but felt, for the price we paid for 5 nights, there should have been a few things that would have made our stay more pleasant & memorable.. a dryer should be a given , an e tea set of towels for 5 nights, outdoor chairs on the deck to watch the bird life, etc..

Perfect location!
Everything was exactly as listed. Beds and living room comfy. Did not expect high shower pressure but was sufficient for showers. Ample towels/washcloths. It is important to know you will need to bring shampoo/conditioner if needed. This was not listed as an amenity but we did not realize that until on the island. Also, I neglected to tell the host (my fault) that there were no hot pads for removing things from oven…that would be really nice to have! I would DEFINITELY stay here again for it is a charming place near to town!
