About

A 4.5 out of 5 score from 26 reviews reflects solid feedback for Rataview. Reaching the guest house from the main resorts and towns on South Island is practical because the island's road network links Barrytown with Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura. That spread of towns means a stay at Rataview can fit a wider South Island itinerary.

Barrytown sits on the Coast Road, and the 2626 address gives drivers a precise reference point on the route. The guest house category suits travellers who want a base rather than a full-service resort.

Seasons on South Island run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate. The country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
