About this property

Triple Tui - Log cabin, self contained, river side

Triple Tui's log cabin is stunning inside and out, natural wood furnishings and the comfort of being totally self contained for short breaks or longer holiday stays. We are eco-friendly and are totally off the grid, running our own hydro electricity and solar water heating, so our carbon footprint is very small. This does not mean, however, that we have skimped on comfort. If you love nature and the outdoors you will love it here with us. Come prepared for the peace and quiet of being surrounded by beautiful native NZ. Our Log Cabin backs on to Kahurangi National Park, it is in a secluded setting for complete privacy, and is set on a 50 acre working lifestyle farm with sheep. The Hope river runs through the property with plenty of swimming holes and stunning waterfalls. Bush and river walks for all levels of fitness. Near to great fly fishing spots - Steve is available to take you either fishing or deer/chamois hunting - inquire as to his availability and rates. Near to the best whitewater rafting in NZ, Nelson Lakes National Park for walking/tramping and there is horse riding just up the road.
If you are a city dweller and need to get away to catch your breath and rediscover you, then this is the place. When we lived in central Auckland this is exactly the sort of place we would have wanted to get away to, and we built it with this in mind. Only an hour south of Nelson, easily accessible and plenty to do in the area.
You will not be disturbed by your cell phone or internet as there is limitef reception here, so relax and be prepared to unwind and discover how much you can love the country life. We do and hope you will too.

Cosy log cabin stay

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the log cabin. Such a beautiful spot for some R&R. The cabin is decked out beautifully and stays wonderfully warm with the fire. We can’t wait to go back and have recommended the place to all our family and friends!

Blissful isolation

Wonderful place to escape and just be in nature. The cabin is simple but has a comfy bed and everything you need. I would suggest packing a small bag as there is a short walk to the cabin from the car.. Tracy was very helpful.

Paradise

Absolutely wonderful and truly a paradise. A beatuiful location on a private area, but very far away from the owners, so it truly feels like you are on your own in the middle of nature. With a beautiful river in front of the cabin where we took our girls to go for a swim. They absolutely adored it. We all loved the place, it was very clean and quiet.

Disliked: Check-in
Online listing does not explain clearly the ‘off grid’ nature of the property (limited power & hot water) and does not include details about the 300m walk (incl a skinny sway bridge crossing) to get from where you park your car to the property, nor was this communicated to us as part of the special instructions you normally receive days before your arrival. No contact was made until a few hours prior and no information was provided at that time, only on arrival were we told that we needed a 4WD to get to the cottage, so our luggage was transported by the host while we walked. Had we known and been prepared (incl packing differently), we would have enjoyed it, rather than being surprised and frustrated. The cottage itself was lovely and once we settled in, it was enjoyable, just not what we were expecting.

Off grid log cabin on homestead.

Lovely location adjacent native bush and river that you can opt to ford to access property. Definitely off grid. Many new paths through bush leading to waterfalls and water (swimming) holes.

Oh wow!

Such a wonderful, secluded spot. Perched high on the bank the sound of the river was lovely. The cabin is gorgeous. Sitting in that big leather chair, in front of the fire with a glass of whiskey after some star gazing, fantastic. Can't wait to come back with the other half. Hosts are lovely, didn't see another soul.
