About this property
Wildside Lodge (romantic off-grid cabin)
No electricity, No WiFi, up-cycled tiny-house. Uniquely crafted from native and recycled materials. So TURN OFF YOUR DEVICES and UNWIND...
SOAK UNDER THE STARS by visiting nearby natural hot-springs or lighting a fire under the outdoor bath.
ENJOY OUTDOOR LIVING on the deck or by the campfire/bbq.
Or stay in next to the COSY pot-belly fire which heats the water for the shower and wash together by candlelight (wood and candles provided).
In the morning open french doors for GREAT VIEWS from the handcrafted bed.
Take a TOUR round the rest of our organic homestead and sample our home produce to have a taste of "the good life" (also locally available are free-range eggs, farm fresh milk and award winning butchery).
Genuine West Coast hospitality from hosts who live on-site (40 metres away) but will respect your privacy.
Have fun with our stick-mad friendly dog.
Awarded 2014 Bookabach Bronze Piwa for Best Quirky Property.
Rural location on SH6, two minutes from Hari Hari village. An outdoor enthusiasts paradise, with beautiful bush-walking (check out Hari Hari Coastal Walkway); free natural hot-springs aside the local river (one of the West Coast's best kept secrets);
wild and lonely driftwood-covered beaches for building bonfires; renowned trout fishing streams; whitebaiting rivers; surf-casting beaches; excellent hunting and local bow-hunters club on a Sunday; lake swimming and boating; whitewater rivers; bird watching and isolated seal colony.
Conveniently situated to take day trips exploring up and down the Coast - 50 minutes to Franz Joseph Glacier (glacier tours, sky-diving, kayaking, horse-trekking, kiwi watching) and 50 minutes to Hokitika (greenstone, glass-blowing, kiwi house, tree-top walkway).
Wildside Lodge is on the same acre property as our other (completely different) holiday home 'Teapot Cottage'.
Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: NO CLEANING FEE so under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to wipe down bench and stove; wash, dry and put away dishes before you leave.

About the host
Hosted by Kath and Dan
We are a freedom-loving family, plus friendly stick-mad dog and fat cat.
We generally live on the "Wildside", West Coast style - hunting, fishing, growing, preserving, brewing and beekeeping - trying to be as self-sufficient as we can. We are happy to show you round our one acre organic homestead if you are interested, or leave you to your privacy.

Why they chose this property
Hari Hari is an outdoor-enthusiasts dream - with great opportunities for hiking, biking, boating, kyaking, fishing, hunting, star-gazing and hot-spring soaking. We live off this wild land and consider it to be the "land of milk and honey", with views to die for!
What makes this property unique
The lodge has been lovingly crafted from lots of found and recycled materials. There are many special "Wild" touches such as the deer antler door knobs and the skins on the floor. The off-grid nature of this cabin makes you feel like you really are getting back to basics, back to a more natural way of living, where there is more time to enjoy romance by candlelight in a beautiful location.
