I had a great stay in the cabin. The owners are very helpful and great communication. The cabin was everything I needed, quiet, peaceful, in a natural environment. It was cosy coming into winter. I loved the loft and natural timber. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Lovely location, well appointed tiny home, lovely host, great info. The fireplace was an added bonus. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed this home very much. The only suggestion we have is that the bed really needs upgrading.

Overall great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay here. We were a group of 3 but the cabin was still spacious. Very warm and cozy during cold-times. The cabin was so peaceful and quaint which was very needed especially as we lived in such a busy city. Overall, it had everything we needed the owners were very accomodating and kind from check-in to check out. Will return again for a future trip!🧡

Relaxing

Relaxing/recovering post-op. Wonderful little house, comfy bed, has everything you need. We really appreciated the pellet burner fireplace too! Nice calm location but not too out of the way either. Thank you!

Rural retreat

Lovely rural property Everything worked, and wifi was amongst the bestVery convenient for TaurangaGood array of essential supplies provided We were not confident about using the stairs during the night for bathroom breaks, so used the pull out sofa bed instead downstairs, and that was fine

This cabin far exceeded our expectations! It is well constructed, cozy, and quiet, located in the middle of billy farmland, nestled next to a creek, and not far from the coast. The bed was comfortable, and we used the kitchen facilities to prepare most of our meals. We intended on staying there two weeks of our trip, but ended up extending our stay for the final week because we found so many fishing and birding opportunities nearby. The host was genuinely congenial; she was quick to help us with anything we needed, and even gave us fresh produce from her garden! We shared some of the snapper we caught in return. The whole experience contributed to the trip of a lifetime for us. Highly recommend!

Good last minute get away

Beautiful property but no photos of stairs, it did say that the stairs were narrow but we thought nothing like that. Super hot in the summer but that is hard to fix. Over all good stay just minor things that can’t be helped like the drive way
