We have stayed in Air BnB’s all over the world and Jacqui and David’s place has blown all the others completely out of water. The pictures online do not even begin to do the treehouse justice. I had booked the Treehouse as a surprise for myself and my partner during our 8 week trip around New Zealand and from the very beginning the it was obvious this place was very special.
As advertised, the treehouse is situated up on the hillside up about 100 steps so would only advise if you have no mobility issues, and although we only took a small rucksack each there is a luggage conveyor operated from the main house should you take anything larger. The check-in process was flawless and Jacqui suggested a few walks in the area which we did before settling for the night.
The treehouse itself is absolutely beautiful, tastefully decorated with homely touches and with one of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in! Surprised also at how brilliant the shower was! Bean bags and table and chairs are there for you to sit and enjoy the view and bbq and basic cooking supplies are available to cook yourself a dinner to enjoy on the balcony. I would definitely suggest doing this rather than travelling far to an eatery so you can enjoy the space as much as you can! Breakfast is provided in the form of fresh fruit, an array of cereals, muesli, yoghurts, bread and lots of condiments and selections of teas and coffees. Delicious.
The area is well known for kiwis too and although we never managed to spot any during the night we did hear them as well as all the other beautiful birds surrounding the treehouse. Torches are provided if you are feeling adventurous to wander out in the dark to find them!
All in all, an absolutely incredible stay and one we will remember for a long, long time. Do not hesitate to book this place - we just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much Jacqui and David, a brilliant start to our trip!
