Here is a selection of customer comments from our two day walkers last year.

An excellent experience, fantastic! The best of NZ. Exceeded expectations, everything was very organised, pick up, briefing, the huts were fantastic. We did the 2 day and enjoyed the opportunity to use 4 day huts for cup of tea. Track had plenty of variety and scenery. ANGELA RUSSEK

I loved it! The concept is really interesting and judicious, sustainable for the environment, local people and for us it's different from the DOC tracks and hut because more creative (kiwis are definitely creative and imaginative) and more comfortable. I did it in two days because I didn't had more time but if I had to come back I would do it in 4 days to enjoy fully of all the surprises there we can find along the track. NATHALIE JACQUEMART

''Á Paradise away from the usual day to day hustle and bustle". All of the accommodation visited and stayed at were of high standard for their isolated situations. The well kept stores and gardens were particularly appreciated. All incredibly clean and welcoming. Fresh flowers are always a lovely touch, as are baby penguins and a bath under the stars! Track well signed and east to follow alongside information booklet provided. Most definitely exceeded all expectations and would fully highly recommend to anyone in the future. Thank you for offering this marvellous experience. DEEPESH DHANJEE

Incredible experience and opportunity to see outstanding part of NZ. Two day tramp required relatively high fitness level to enjoy, accommodation above standard, we were very lucky to have beautiful sunny warm, windless days. A big thanks to those families who have worked so hard to ensure high standard of track, accommodation and allow groups to wander over their working farms and share the beauty with those hiking across their land. MARY WAUGH

Loved doing this two-day walk and would highly recommend. Thought the huts were quirky and welcoming - all well appointed within the expectations laid out prior to the trip. Being able to purchase extras (food, etc) and take up a late offer for pack cartage were really appreciated. The walk itself was fantastic - very undulating - and the final leg down to Akaroa was pretty hard on the legs. However, we did the two-day option and felt that the 4-day would be extremely leisurely and relaxing. We were lucky with the weather as well and had two brilliant days. We also really enjoyed the hospitality shown to us at Flea Bay and Otanerito, even though these were just midway stops for us on each of the days. Both places looked as though they'd make beautiful overnight stops and we were a little sad to have to press on so soon! GEOFF CHILDS

Fantastic experience - great scenery and tranquillity. We really enjoyed the walk and the quirky accommodation was great. It was wonderful to do the walk and see almost no other people while we were walking. We definitely want to come back and do the four day walk, but we recommend that you continue to keep the numbers low on the track. It wouldn't be quite so unique if there were heaps of people walking it every day! CAROLINE MAGOFFIN

Absolutely amazing! Exceeded all my expectations! Walk very well indicated, views absolutely stunning, accommodation awesome, very well cared for, whole atmosphere was great! Want to do it again!!(despite the blisters.....!!) Did it in 2 days, which was very well manageable, but next time I'll do it in four to truly appreciate all the accommodation, activities and views along the way. PIETERNEL CREMERS

Great-just great. It is such a great walk and fills the niche between DOC hut accommodation where you have to share with the unknown Tom Dick and Harry and hotels wonderfully! The 'shops' on route are a lovely surprise. The walk is stunning and is a real taste of the outdoors for old and young and non New Zealanders alike. Very well signed posted. BRYAN MACBETH

Magical - we loved our two days on the track. The quality of the accommodation was exceptional. It was great being able to use the four-day accommodation for lunch stops on the two-day walk. We loved the honesty box shops - excellent selection of very fresh produce. Would definitely recommend it to others and have done already! KATE FROST

Superb walk with spectacular scenery. Our group appreciated the comfortable accommodation and the vase of fresh flowers greeting us on our arrival at the huts on both nights....thank you! Hinewai was such a treat - fascinating seeing the extent of the regenerating bush. SANDRA WHITE

A must-do walk for its excellent sights, characteristic huts and all-round suitability for different age-groups and competencies. EUGENE SNG

Great experience. Fantastic scenery and accommodation. Wish we had done it over 4 days. SIMON ROUSE
Everything worked - beautiful track. Very well marked track through spectacular costal scenery with nice and cosy cottages for us "2-days trackers" (as opposed those 4-days walkers). Unique shower + jacuzzi and even cold beers available at Stony Bay. Absolutely worthwhile. KLAUS HEIDE

This is such a nice track - we enjoyed all things. Each hut is even lovelier than the other. So much details and explications. The shelters - the shops - the shower with a tree - the cup to drink water (on the way) and so much more. We cannot tell all in this notice. Thanks for all. HEIDE ENGEL

Fantastic! I'll do it again but will choose the 4 day instead of 2! Thank you all so much for sharing your slice of paradise! I really enjoyed my time and was very impressed with the accommodations. I did the two day hike and was really wishing I had signed up for the four day. I will do it again. GENEVIEVE BACHMAN

A glorious though challenging 2 day walk! I really enjoyed the whole walk, the organisation was excellent, the huts unique and very well equipped and the food and drink available was just what a walker was looking for. MARY BRENNAN

Brilliant! Special place & lots of special touches along the way. PAUL WILLIAMS

Amazing, fabulous, unforgivable!!! MATHILDE CAPRON

Great experience. I didn't really know what to expect. I booked the track in the last minute, because I happened to be in Christchurch unexpectedly. I had heard about it from my cousin who did it a few years ago, but she didn't tell me much. In summary, I had the greatest time, in terms of scenery, the beautiful and a bit original designed huts and the nice people I met. The track is very well marked, and I would definitely recommend it to others. YARON LAVY

Very enjoyable trip. Accommodation and utilities provided were very satisfactory. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the huts, their locations and character. Great that basic supplies were available to purchase. It was important to me personally that the numbers using the route/track at any given time are limited. I would recommend walk to others. RORY WALSH

Great trip - thanks for the beautiful weather. Indicated timings were good. Tracks should be noted as care required at times especially when wet, and the climbs/descents were not difficult but strenuous and sustained - a 'moderate' level of difficulty for the track overall as a two-day tramp. Would not want to attempt it without good boots, but managed with only moderate fitness. Huts were lovely - exceeded expectations. PAUL WILLYAMS

Refreshing and invigorating. I enjoyed all aspects of the track. The larders were well stocked. Prices were very reasonable. World standard. ARMSTRONG KERRY

Wonderful tramp- great scenery, the huts were comfortable, well serviced and quirky. How amazing to have shops at nearly every hut! SUE MOREY

Brilliant! All accommodation and facilities greatly exceeded my expectations. I loved the quirky artistic touches along the way, especially Stony Bay, and the obvious effort that's been made to consider the environment. You have all done a marvellous job of making a spectacular walk the best it can be. Big thanks! LINDA WATSON

One of the best weekends of my life - magical! It was absolutely fantastic! Unbelievable - now one of my two favourite spots in nz, and I have been hiking a lot in this beautiful country. been here for 5 years now but still had to do this and am sooo glad we did! only thing we didn't like was that the 2 day hikers were in separated huts. but this didn't make it less magical! JO-NANDA TEUBER

Wonderful experience- would love to do it again! Accomodation was great at Onuku farm, loved the stargazer-a great start!. Extras such as flowers on tables, pillows, microwave and food available improved the experience. Also stayed at Stony Bay and this place is magic- quaint and quirky. Would have liked to stop over at the other places but enjoyed our lunch stops there. Lovely clean teatowels, well maintained track, very natural, all good. Novel surprises along the way were fun. JULIAN MOODY

Great track, awesome experience. JOHANNES PFISTER

Much more than a beautiful walk: the huts are an experience in themselves. The quirkiness and beauty of the huts and their locations integrated the group and made a good walk so memorable. So much thought, care and pride has gone into all elements of the walk. CED RENISON

Beauty that you will never forget. This place was so full of beautiful scenery as well as beautiful people that you meet along the way. I did the 2 day hike and loved it but would love to go back on a 4 day trip and see it all over again. WHITNEY

Brilliant views and well-maintained track - superb. Was wonderful - both accommodation and the track itself met our expectations and beyond. Have already recommended to my parents for their next visit to NZ in Feb. ALIX PEARCE

Wonderful experience. Completely met expectations. GORDON URE

Great walk. Spectacular scenery. Well recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed accommodation.
Would do again. JENNY SMITH

Excellent walk with great birdsong. Well marked track with all types of terrain. Excellent huts with great facilities. Great first contact and briefing. Very sore legs when finished. BEV HOOGEVEEN
