Awesome accomodation close to Auckland. Beautifully set up, totally private and some unique touches that make it an experience rather than just a place to stay - a few minutes walk down a private bush track from your carpark to the accomodation, an outdoor bath & shower (plus an indoor bathroom) and a hot tub in the middle of the bush! Well set up kitchen, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a movie projector over the bed and a record player with an eclectic mix of records.
It rained most of the two nights we stayed but it didn't matter one single bit! This is a magical place to chill and relax or as a base to explore the wider Matakana area.
Highly recommended. We'll be back.
A couple of tips - take some jandles (or slip-on shoes) and, during winter, a robe for the short dash to the outdoor shower or hottub and take some popcorn for movie-time!
