Our group stayed at Knobs Flat for 3 nights and could easily have stayed another. It's a perfect place to relax and also to explore Fiordland, especially Milford Sound. Although it's not far from the highway we weren't aware of any traffic noise. The rooms are really well appointed and the quality shows, good bed, excellent shower, very good kitchen... More

We camped at Knobs Flat for two nights, having decided that the DOC campsites were just too basic for us. We were thrilled with the setting- glorious views of the mountains right from our tent, and fine red beeches providing shelter. The toilet and shower facilities were scrupulously clean and very modern, while the kitchen was well appointed, and, coming... More

This is an excellent base for exploring the local area, with plenty of good walks within a short distance. We stayed 4 nights in an immaculately clean studio room, and were impressed with the instant hot water! The view from our window and terrace was magnificent. After the Homer Tunnel closes at 7pm the place is wonderfully quiet; and also... More

Stayed here for one night after taking the last cruise of the day on Milford Sound. The cabin we stayed in was basic but spotlessly clean. We had a big comfortable bed, clean wet room, plenty of piping hot water and a well equipped small kitchen. The layout, apart from wetroom/bathroom is open plan. The kitchen area is small so... More

This location is ideal for exploring Fiordland National Park, whether day tripping to Milford Sound, or checking out hiking trails.within the park. We stayed three nights, filling each day to capacity. We chose one of the studio units (unit 2) which was perfectly clean with all the essentials, but one of those closest to the highway. The quantity of early... More

We considered staying at Milford Sound however we ended up at Knob's Flat and we had no regrets. We planned to stay for 2 nights but stayed for 3. We were in one of the cheaper priced huts but it was very clean and had all the amenities you would require. The room was screened and the midges were less... More

After reading the other reviews I think we are talking about two different age cabins. The one we stayed in was new, accessible, very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. Knobs Flat is very easy to find and also always accessible unlike Milford Sound where the road is closed in the evening due to landslide potential. It is... More

They were a lot!! of dead sandflys (and other insects) on the window board and smashed in the curtions and about the same amount alive in our room. Of couse the Units are built in nature... More

Stayed in a cabin here in early 2011. We were delighted by the warmth of the welcome despite the terrible mist and drizzle. So, we were unable to enjoy looking at the view in the evening, but in the morning we were able to see the peaks and the Eglinton River Valley really well. The remoteness of the place was... More
