Triple Tui - Log cabin, self contained, river side

Triple Tui's log cabin is stunning inside and out, natural wood furnishings and the comfort of being totally self contained for short breaks or longer holiday stays. We are eco-friendly and are totally off the grid, running our own hydro electricity and solar water heating, so our carbon footprint is very small. This does not mean, however, that we have skimped on comfort. If you love nature and the outdoors you will love it here with us. Come prepared for the peace and quiet of being surrounded by beautiful native NZ. Our Log Cabin backs on to Kahurangi National Park, it is in a secluded setting for complete privacy, and is set on a 50 acre working lifestyle farm with sheep. The Little Hope river runs through the property with plenty of swimming holes and stunning waterfalls. Bush and river walks for all levels of fitness. Near to great fly fishing spots - Steve is available to take you either fishing or deer/chamois hunting - inquire as to his great rates. Near to the best whitewater rafting in NZ, Nelson Lakes National Park for walking/tramping and there is horse riding just up the road.
If you are a city dweller and need to get away to catch your breath and rediscover you, then this is the place. When we lived in central Auckland this is exactly the sort of place we would have wanted to get away to, and we built it with this in mind. Only an hour south of Nelson, easily accessible and plenty to do in the area.
You will not be disturbed by your cell phone or internet as there is no reception here, so relax and be prepared to unwind and discover how much you can love the country life. We do and hope you will too.

Cosy log cabin stay
We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the log cabin. Such a beautiful spot for some R&R. The cabin is decked out beautifully and stays wonderfully warm with the fire. We can’t wait to go back and have recommended the place to all our family and friends!

Paradise
Absolutely wonderful and truly a paradise. A beatuiful location on a private area, but very far away from the owners, so it truly feels like you are on your own in the middle of nature. With a beautiful river in front of the cabin where we took our girls to go for a swim. They absolutely adored it. We all loved the place, it was very clean and quiet.

Oh wow!
Such a wonderful, secluded spot. Perched high on the bank the sound of the river was lovely. The cabin is gorgeous. Sitting in that big leather chair, in front of the fire with a glass of whiskey after some star gazing, fantastic. Can't wait to come back with the other half. Hosts are lovely, didn't see another soul.

Peace and Tranquility
This was the best spot ever to unwind. We can't really find words to do this spot justice, but if you want to get back to nature for a bit, this is the place to go. Steve and Tracey were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for sharing this piece of paradise. We hope to get back again as it was just a little cold to try out the swimming holes.

Off grid in a haven of peace
The cabin provides a true off grid experience in a completely private setting away. The owners, Steve and Tracy are not far away if you need them but respect the privacy of the place. You'll need to bring all you need for food and drink, ideally for the duration of your stay, it's a long drive (c 45 mins) for anything! It's a place to chill out, read, play games walk and talk. Enjoy!

Stars in the bush
Excellent place with all we needed. The tracks in the bush and along the stream leading to pools and a waterfall are lovely, having its own swingbridge on the beautifully kept property was a highlight for our two year old daughter. The stars and quiet at night only disturbed by the odd morepork. Helpful, welcoming and considerate hosts.
