About the host

Hosted by Belinda

Host profile image
This unique property has been in our family since 1924 and comes under the Queen Elizabeth Trust which provides extra protection to the rain forest. Managing the 2 houses, on our piece of paradise, is a shared job between 2 sisters, and supported by our nephew who lives on site. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Because we want to share the experience of staying high in the rain forest with as many people as possible.

What makes this property unique

The rain forest, the sunsets, the peace and quiet, wood pigeons, the view down to Lion Rock, the 15 mins drive to Piha Beach .... and so much more.
