"Our little family of 3 had a very relaxing few days staying in the cabin. We loved sitting on the glamping deck enjoying the quiet and the beautiful views and wandering down to the water and mucking around on the shoreline. Cabin is really well set up with everything you need and Valerie is the best host and even bought my son a little birthday present We enjoyed a few activities in the area including the Ruawai cycleway, the Kauri Bushmans walk and a trip to Waipu for pizza and to check out...
