Lovely, peaceful setting with a big deck between the yurt & cabin kitchen to hang out on. It was just the retreat we were needing.

Relaxing spot
Lovely spot. Away from everything, however Motueka is only a short journey away - 15 minutes. I found the drive up the gravel driveway a bit scary at first, however quickly got used to it. Bathroom, kitchen and second bedroom are in a separate building to the Yurt. We travelled with young children. They enjoyed the experience too.

A stay to remember
Our 3 days stay (including Christmas) here was quite an experience! The owners have created a space where guests can experience how it is to have some modern conveniences at the same time be environmentally friendly and sustainable. The yurt and the cabin have everything you need, and more, to relax, recharge, and connect with nature. The air quality is A-mazin! Thank you to our amazing hosts for sharing this wonderful space with us…and others!

About the host

HI There, We are a family of 4, Natalie, Stephan, Chloe and Lotus. We migrated from Holland in 2005 to NZ. We started our Eco village 'Te Manawa' in 2005 and by 2007 we where living permanent on the land. Natalie is a fully qualified Qi Gong master and teacher, Stephan is an architect and Chloe and Lotus are both attending school. We love travelling and have done many times.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very unique and can be seen as a way of living in harmony with the land. The land is previously been logged but the generation process is well under way for over 25 yrs.
The entire property of 150acres is commonly owned by 6 families who all reside her. We look after the land through invasive flora and fauna removal, track building, planting and general upkeep. The land is on steep so called 'Seperation point granite', a highly erosive soil type which can be very problematic due to erosion. The land is totally unsuitable for clearfell logging, but this is still common practice in the district causing huge problems. The way we look after the land might a a very good example of proper land management on these soils. We also have big areas of native bush protected by a covenant (QE2). This means these can't logged. As a result of our pest control you will find many native rare birds on the property. The bird song is very beautiful. We do get visits from native Kea's every now and then. Please don't interact with these very intelligent birds or feed them.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views. Quite space in the bush but close to town. Enjoy the moonrise over the ocean. Prolific birdlife.
Activities onsite Qigong classes and healing onsite as well as bushwalks.
Motueka river in the valley for a great dip or fishing. Mountain biking close by.
