Guests Reviews
"This is by far the best place we have ever stayed in 4 trips to New Zealand. If you want to get away from the crowds and go on incredibly beautiful hikes this place is for you. The owners are very nice and helpful and we will be back!"

"The location can hardly be described. A National Park in itself. We walked on the property for two days, where we came from one beautiful place to another. A stunning beach to do some fishing (with as a bonus a seal watching you from a small distance). Magnificent.

"This is a very special place, and was a highlight of our recent trip. The cottage is well set-up and very comfortable, and the setting is very unique, the views unparalleled. This combination of rocky outcrops, nikau palms, wild beaches, good tracks and amazing views was perfect for both us."
