Jan 28 - Feb 27, 2026
Monika planned an amazing trip for us!!! She was able to alter the itinerary on short notice when we were invited to hike with friends in another part of New Zealand. She was super attentive to our needs and planned days and lodging which fit our particular requests. Monika was available when the weather caused us to change plans and was at the ready any time we needed her. We cannot say enough good things about Monika and the kimkim process which enabled us to have the trip of a lifetime. We would highly recommend both Monika and kimkim for any future travel needs (fyi...we have used kimkim in the past always with similar happy experiences in diverse parts of the world).
Thank you Monika and kimkim. You will always be in our hearts.
Hotel Reviews
Service and room were top notch. We needed to arrive early and they were so gracious and accommodating. Thank you to all of the staff at Millennium!!
Clean, convenient, steps from all the restaurants we wanted to try and staff was super helpful and available
Such a unique experience. We hope to return again. We cannot say enough wonderful words about the Eco Lodge.....
Easy check in, spacious home with amazing views
For us, this was all we needed but it is in an area where everything is basic so someone looking for 'glam' would not be happy. We loved the space, the nearby washer/dryer (much needed by this time in the trip), proximity to hiking trails and wonderful drives to scenic spots.
This is a basic hotel with all that we needed. I would give it a 5 but some folks may disagree with me because it is not 'high-end'. We needed a room for 2 nights knowing we would use it only to sleep and do a final pack. It more than accommodated us. We had room to spread out, washer/dryer to help deal with soaked dirty clothing before packing for a 28 hour flight. It is a 10 minute or so walk from the grocery store, Subway, local movie theater (see the short documentary about the fjordlands). We were totally happy and had no complaints
Right where you want to be to experience downtown
Such a wonderful experience. The room was spacious, had a lovely lake view and the manager and her family added so much to the experience. This lodge is a little off the beaten path but what we were looking for and we loved chatting with other guests who added so much to our trip experience.
Activity Reviews
Lots of gorgeous views
What a hoot to go out with a real sheep/cow/deer rancher. Truly an authentic experience
This tour is first off, something you will never see anywhere else. It is so well organized, very informative and the staff are totally engaged. We went at dusk and it was awesome!!!!
It was raining the day we did this BUT we learned that if it is not raining, the falls are not nearly as amazing. Our guide, Rob, was top-notch and we loved being able to walk a small part of the Milford Track and to see the Milford Sound up close.
Dear Pam and Lou ! Thank you so much for your kind words!
I’m truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip and that everything worked out, even with the last-minute changes. It was a pleasure planning your journey and making sure it fit your needs, and I’m so glad you were able to enjoy every moment!
Warm regards, Monika
