I am a solo traveller and I love this place, mostly other solos and couples all chatting in the kitchen in the evening (always great cruisie music playing) and swimming in one of the amazing swimming holes

. Karen, the host is always friendly and the cleanliness of the place is to her credit. As for the bugs, they are around from Nelson Lakes to Milford Sound, that's the South Island for you. The screened in area of the kitchen keeps the bugs out (and Karen sells a great repellant which does the trick).
