Peaceful, quiet and very comfortable.

Gorgeous unit with everything required. The bed was super comfortable and wow the shower was amazing. In the kitchen was everything needed to prepare meals and even some herbs and spices. The stars were spectacular with the darkness around. So much better than watching tele. Waking to the bird song starts the day perfectlyWould thoroughly recommend if you want a stay away from the busy world.

Te pahu

Secluded but not private, inside/outside flow, potentially outside overflowed too much into the inside, lovely host, building is great for family to completely disconnect from technology, books provided, but take your own games/cards etc, overall amenities were clean potentially due for a autumn deep clean, , setup for the one night stay, consider take own extra comforts.if multiple night stay.
