The Cwtch Gallery

Reviewed By Aulestes - Haast, New Zealand

This place ticks all the boxes for budget accommodation. Very comfy bunkroom in an old and characterful house. Easy walking distance to shops, eateries and the most wonderful Tuatapere Domain, plus a new park planted with NZ-native plants a few minutes' walk away. Budget accommodation at its best.Unusual art gallery attached.
