This gem in the heart of the North Island is simply breathtaking. The view from the deck is unsurpassed in all my travels - and make sure you sit at dusk (or dawn) to listen to the spectacular soundscape of birds. At night, the only lights to be seen are stars. The kitchen is basic but lovely and spacious. The bathroom is beautifully rustic - the outside shower is heaven! No Wi-Fi but cell signal for us was ok - it is a little remote but for us this was absolutely ideal. The beds are comfortable. We will definitely be back here if we can!
