- "I was very happy with my stay here. Andrea was very welcoming and helpful. I stayed in a dorm room, but turned out I had it to myself, which was nice. The facilities seem to be purpose built for small share accommodation, with a large kitchen and dining room, and separate lounge space. Everything was spotlessly clean. It felt very tranquil - close enough to the highway to be convenient for those travelling by car, but far enough away to feel like you're staying on a farm away from the world. I would definitely recommend staying here. The eggs and passionfruit were a nice welcoming touch as well."

Highly recommended! I plan to return one day soon." - "Lynley and Dan are warm and friendly hosts, sharing tips for fishing holes and eggs from their chooks.

- "Excellent stay.highly recommend." - "The villa was gorgeous and well presented. Super clean and tidy and well presented. Really close walking distance to town and the Hauraki Rail Trial bike ride section D was just at the end of the road. The only issue was all the commercial/car businesses around the house - it was the only house on a commercial property street. Lots of noise in the daytime and bright security lights all night. Such a shame as the house is beautiful. Darker curtains in the front bedroom would really help and fencing around the back garden so that its not so exposed and to give more privacy and security. It was fine if you wanted a clean tidy central base to cycle from though. Lots of nice touches in the house to suit the style of the villa. Had a beautiful calm feel inside the house and had everything you needed for a few days stay. lovely decor, furniture and fittings. beautifully restored villa."

Snuggling the tree this little cabin features a hobbit window and hand made bed. Small and perfectly formed in the charming garden of a property with stunning views of rural NZ. NOTE. The toilet and shower are away from your accommodation. There is a basic kitchen tea and coffee making facilities. Just minutes from the cycle track and gorgeous bush tracks.

The space
Complete in december 2016 this cabin is made with love from recycled materials sourced from all over NZ. it is roomy, warm and charming. A friend made the some aspects of the bed and put together a head board from Nelson and the foot end from Auckland. We believe in using beautifully crafted wood.

Guest access
A little distance away is the toilet and shower which are quirky amenities with running hot and cold water. Delicious on a not so warm day to have a hot shower in natural surroundings. You may not revel in walking to the toilet in the middle of the night however so its not for everyone.
During your stay
You may be on the property with other guests or with me or have the whole complex to yourselves. Either way I love sharing the public spaces and garden with my guests.
