John and Treive are excellent hosts. The cabin is cute and cozy, has a great view, and has everything you’d need (including two super cute sheep that will eat right out of your hand). They provided breakfast which included hard-boiled eggs from their own chickens. They were very knowledgeable and gave us local tips for hiking, which were very much appreciated. It’s a great crowd-free stay on your way across the north island. Would definitely recommend.
