Heaven not far away

Absolutely stunning stay- felt like being so far away from everyone and everything but only a few hours drive from the east of the South Island. Lush greenery and the sounds of the birds - best place to stay and enjoy urself / family/friends. Hot tub was a beautiful touch! Takes 5 hours to realy heat up but worth it !!!!

Well worth the stay.

Unique accommodation in a beautiful remote location. Loved the lake where we enjoyed use of kayaks and spent time fishing. Our favourite was the glow worm cave and friendly weka greeting in the morning. Our toddler loved exploring and helping with the hot tub.

Lovely Time

I ended up not being able to go due to being sick, but the other families were able to meet out there. They found the space perfect for their needs - tranquil and restorative! Thank you for hosting them; I’m hoping to join them next year!

A really unique experience

We really enjoyed our short stay in this unique, well featured house nestled in the native bush. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to disconnect for a bit.
