My husband and I enjoyed our time in the private cabin amongst the woods. Patrick was kind to provide us with breakfast materials and a well set up space. The orchard was gorgeous, the surroundings were incredible, the quirky cabin was rustic and had lots of natural light. We did encounter some bathroom pests but we were in the woods after all. We enjoyed our time doing some short walks, reading, having a good rest and watching a movie as it was raining for most of our time there which was lovely. We were prepared for limited to no restaurant availability, and no supermarket but we found it strange that the area even seemed to lack a central meeting venue such as a cafe. The drive in from Taupo on the narrow gravel road wasn't to bad but the 2.5-3hr drive out toward Rotorua was long and scary and we had we known we may not have booked (especially after it had been raining that morning). Thank you for your hospitality Patrick. We really appreciated it.
