Family Trip

A beautiful peaceful location & clean & well set up cottage. A few functional work arounds, that we had been made aware of, but still a fabulous place to stay. Absolutely recommend the 20 min walk to Kauri falls.

Off grid getaway

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful private location, cozy cottage with a great setup, and the whole family enjoyed our stay. We didn’t get to see Owl Pacino, but were entertained by a chunky kereru’s repeat appearances. Great communication from Fenella and all the info we needed was provided up front. Would stay here again!
