Stayed Jun 12, 2026Such a unique and wonderful spot. No need to leave as everything is right at your fingertips, starlit baths, sauna booster mornings, orchard jaunts, ocean views, chorus of bird life, candle light shadows adding magic to the moments, fireside dinners, the perfect place to hold us in absolute bliss and reset mode. Thanks for having us again!

Stayed May 22, 2026The property has a charm and delight that we enjoyed It was very apparent that the host paid attention to preparing the property so we could have a relaxed stay. There was plenty of firewood and mowed pathways to wander down. The fire bath by star light was an exquisite experience, the outdoor shower amidst the Kawakawa tree a delight. Huge gratitude.

Stayed Dec 22, 2025Lovely.This place is not a luxury hotel. But it has what you need and it has heart. A truly peaceful and soulful place. A beautiful setting, so many birds and an incredible view. I was concerned about the composting toilet but it is totally civilized with a sink and running water. Smelled better than most indoor baths. We did not use the sauna as the weather was quite warm and sunny but it looked charming. There was a fire laid in the wood stove and the wood boxes were filled with split wood, vase of fresh flowers on table. Lots of nice little touches.
