We loved our stay in this cabin, which felt welcoming, homely, and very clean. There were drawers for clothing, a full-length mirror, and a lovely, very quiet ceiling fan in the bedroom. The cabin had a beautiful deck surrounding it and felt nicely nestled, with a grassed area and native shrubs planted around the section, creating privacy. We met Marie, who warmly welcomed us and invited us to contact her if we needed anything. We would definitely stay at this cabin again on our next visit to Ruakākā.
