Very Pretty Area close to the beach
The hut or home is old but situated in a beautiful area. The single room I used is not suitable for tall person as the ceiling is very low (it’s an attic room) easily bump head to the padded wooden beams.
Nice quaint room. It wasn’t cleaned properly as there was still food from previous guests in the fridge, this prompted me to look inside the kettle and the kettle was old and flakey leaving me to decide that I did not want a hot drink. The property itself was beautiful but the amenities and cleanliness let me down personally
A quiet peaceful retreat away from the maddening crowds and close to nature at its best

The rooms were basic and clean. Water pressure was minimal. Given it’s nowhere near any town, not unexpected. The walk to the beach was good and surroundings were amazing.

Our stay wasn't an unpleasant one and the staff did everything to help only, the communication was difficult seeing the receptionist didn:t speak English. Other than that was everything average.
Peaceful native bush setting. Short walk to wild beach

Good stay but bring your food with you!
We stayed for one night, the room was clean with a comfy bed, full use of the kitchen including a stove, microwave, kettle and fridge. There was a large communal lounge area and two showers in our lodge which was plenty. Make sure you bring your food with you as there are no supermarkets for 40 minutes from the property and few restaurants that are expensive if you’re on a budget.
We loved this accommodation! Such a neat experience staying in the middle of NZ native bush land right on the coast. Super close to where we wanted to be & it had everything we needed & more than expected.
Very cool experience whether you are a kiwi or international traveller
