Coastal Rural Haven with mind blowing Sea Views! 10 minutes South of Moeraki.

8/10 Good
"Fantastic location, beautiful views of the sunrise across the ocean straight from the master bedroom. Watching the ocean change throughout the day was such a perk of this place. The wild bunnies, and train behind the house were added excitements. Shag Point is just across the road, and both Moeraki and Palmerston about 15 mins away. The house was warm and bright, with a well equipped kitchen for a meal. General traffic noise could be heard with windows open, but easily ignored and traffic could not be seen. The driveway is easily accessed, though would recommend turning around in Shag Point Road if approaching from the North, and lots of space for parking up the driveway. The host was very communicative, helpful, and quick to reply. Would 100% recommend for couples, or small groups. We definitely would love to stay again!!"

When is the best time to go to Makareao?
The best time to visit Makareao, Otago, New Zealand, is during the summer months, from December to February, or the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May).

You can enjoy comfortable temperatures for visiting the Makareao Gorge or taking a boat trip on the nearby lakes.
