Because of its remoteness it is so quiet and tranquil, a place to truly get away from it all.While it is no frills, you don’t want for anything else in this setting. And the owner was only too willing to help where she could. ##### Stewart E. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris L.

The larger bunk room upstairs was the 3rd bedroom and two females had a bed each there.Not suitable for another couple as it was an open share room. Very pleasant though.Other couple used a tent comfortably. It was warm. It was comfortable. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing stay.The bathroom was small but we managed. ##### Chris L.

Average kiwi Bach. Nothing fancy but has everything you need. Amazing views. It didn't mention that the upstairs room wasn't accessible from the inside but apart from that a nice layout. Had a few issues with power outage but that wasn't the property managers fault, just one of those things. When I rung her she sent someone straight away to help. Great host. A great place if you just want to relax with breath taking views. ##### Aroha C. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian D.
