We stayed with Noeline on New Year's Eve and were so tired after walking 27kms from Ship Cove, we just wanted a shower and bed. We were comfortable enough and felt welcome with Noeline. It's a fair walk and a narrow goat track at the end from Punga Cove to the house. If you have your luggage delivered by water... More

We stayed at Noelines on the second night walking the Queen Charlotte Track and would highly recommend this to anyone. The place is made by Noeline who is an incredible person, she is 82 and amazingly independent and interesting. She makes great scones as well

Noeline's place isn't a hotel - it's not a hostel... it's her home, and she makes you very very welcome - we even... More

We were greeted with a plate of hot scones and a hot drink when we arrived. Noeline is a friendly 80-something year old. She has also travelled widely internationally and has some interested stories to tell. A bit of the QC track but a comfortable place to stay.
