Hughly recommended if you want to get away - the location is so beautiful, forest as far as the eye can see, with your own private forest walk. The house itself is amazing too - clean, modern, just like the pictures. The host is very reaponsive, couldn't fault it, 5 stars

We had a very relaxing time and loved our stay! Our favourite parts were that we couldn’t hear any traffic, the view outside was beautiful, the tub with bubble bath was great. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, having a bath in the rain was nice. We loved the chocolate treat and marshmallows on arrival. The piwaiwaka (fantails) visiting was very cute! The heater worked well if we got cold and we loved the fact there are bunk beds if we come back again and bring the kids. We recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from the big city as it was only a 40min drive from Auckland so not too far yet it felt like we were further away because of how quiet it was. Thank you so much for having us!
