Me gettaway for my birthday

Just what I needed to get away on my own. Was beautiful and enjoyed the tuis feeding on the flax arms length away. I felt very safe as was in a secured locked area. The views were amazing. Would love to go again

We loved this place!

We absolutely loved this place, right from when we walked in. The hut and set up is so cool! The hosts have thought of everything you might need! The photos do not do this place justice!! We will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone! Only thing is the bed is short, which could be a problem for taller people
