Relax, reflect, refocus, and enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature. This unique building has a calming effect on those who stay here. This self- contained eco-Pod is 5 minutes from State highway 3 and is very close to local beaches, golf courses, a cafe and general store at Urenui. Two matching electric folding bikes are available on request.
