Lovely hosts very informative friendly helpful. Beautiful house in a bush hideaway, lovely rooms w linens, stunning bathroom, there is 1 outdoorish toilet so if your scared of spiders beware, 4th bedoom self contained place down stairs not as nice as rest of home but has Beautiful shower, heated floors in bathroom , road to house is scary, tight narrow roas w blind corners if your not a confident driver beware driveway parking is tricky. A quiet relaxing house we enjoyed our stay here in the ngahere.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026
