Our family (2 adults + 10 and 12 year old) had a fantastic time. We stayed early October, which means it's lush greenery and lambing season.
The drive to the house is beautiful and every corner brings majestic views of rolling hills.
The house is remote, so there is absolute peace, the only sounds are the constant birdsongs. Every window has more beautiful views of majestic trees, rolling green hills and cows and sheep grazing. On a clear night the sky is filled with stars as there is no other city lights nearby, and you can sleep watching the stars from your bedroom.
Great warm house, lovely fireplace, heat pump, a fantastic spa, WiFi, Netflix for rainy days, and friendly kunekune pigs.
And of course, it's a perfect launching pad for getting into the Kaweka Forest, and the surrounding scenic reserves.
Overall, this place is perfect if you need to get away from it all and get closer to nature and still have access to a modern house.
