We stayed here while stopping in the area to visit the waitomo caves and hobbiton. So far this is our favorite place we've stayed at! It was beautiful and quiet. It was perfect for star gazing and the outdoor shower was magical. We were visiting in May so it was pretty chilly but Dave was nice enough to come out and start the wood stove and outdoor fire pit for us. I would highly recommend this property and if we ever came back this way this would be our first choice!
