About this property

Private Cabin Retreat

  • Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space completely surrounded by nature! Offstreet fenced parking, secure and private, only tūīs and bellbirds bother you here. Two minute drive to the town centre, handy to restaurants and local amenities.

    The space
    Cabin with fully equipped kitchen including tea and coffee (plunger) with some continental breakfast items provided. There is a composting toilet with usage instructions.
    Guest access
    Come to the end of the cul-de-sac and follow the asphalt drive on your left for 50m until you see a large gravel parking area on your left through an open gate. Park safely in this area next to the shed and walk to the cabin on the gravel pathway. Please do not drive on the grass or narrow gravel path, this is for walking only.

    Other things to note
    As part of our contribution to a sustainable planet we provide a modern composting toilet which has no smell and is very easy to operate.

    Please remove your shoes when entering the cabin; there is a mat provided.

The small tiny house was very cold in the mornings. No tv, no internet.. no cubboards no long mirror. No iron or ironing board. The noise of the train. You can hear it coming before it reaches you and when it does its so loud
