Feedback
Nokomai consistently rates 5 stars from those that stay there. These are some excerpts from a few reviews.
"Nokomai was a treat! Be sure to get there for dinner. The food was one of our best meals in NZ! "
"The cottages are large, comfortable and fully equipped. We choose to have lunches and dinners catered by the station. Louise's meals are fantastic and the portions more then generous. You will not go hungry."
"I've been fishing in NZ South Island yearly since 1991 and have stayed in a large variety of backcountry huts, motels, B+B's, tents and lodges but my recent stay at Nokomai Station this month was one of the most memorable ever. I think it's certainly amongst the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in and the hospitality from Ann and her husband and the amazing Louise who runs the accommodation is faultless."
