Off grid but on point for relaxing.
Beautiful space to enjoy some quiet time. Close enough to enjoy Raglan or the Bridal Falls but miles away from hustle and noise. Owners are around if needed but let you get on with relaxation. Bring a book…but if you forget there is a small selection in the space to keep you entertained. Quirky but something special.

Peaceful
A rustic place to stay close to nature. Almost like camping but with solid walls. Awesome hot shower with good pressure. Really nice hosts.

Quite unusual but had all the mod cons except Wi-Fi and Tv as they are off the grid. Gas oven, 230v outlets, water heater etc. could do with a few improvements like a better floor in the mid section. The WC cubicle is way too small and must be hell for a large person. It could do with a sun deck or access to the west side outdoor to enjoy the evening sun. Views from the boat disappointing, just a peep of the sea as the hill blocks the view.

Unique spot. Lovely hosts.
Quaint and unique accommodation. Just what we wanted. Could do with a little screen to be built to separate the boat from the view of the shed....will help with aethestics and guest privacy. Loved the local ducks, peacock, wee dog and roosters. The family home is also quite close to the boathouse. Hosts were very helpful, kind and friendly from the moment we booked.
