My partner and I took a detour and re-arranged our itenary just to stay at the house truck. :) It was quite a drive from Takaka, but we were able to locate it with detailed directions from Lawrence. :) The drive up the short hill was extremely steep and was a mini adventure for us in our Toyota Estima! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with a small personalised welcome note left in the house truck for us, and our host was very happy to explain how things work at the house truck, and also gave us recommendations on what to do in the area! The view was spectacular and the beds and amenities were sufficient for the night. The whole place was very clean, and the hot tub shower outdoors was also quite an experience and so was the compost toilet! Definitely recommend this for anyone who's up for a fun outdoor-nature-filled stay! Do make sure you have some insect repellant with you though, the sand-flies sure do love it when there are guests around!
