A very special peaceful place overlooking tranquil native gardens, a dam/pond with a few friendly eels, wekas and ducks. The cabin backs onto a truly beautiful podocarp forest. There is a short walk through the forest to a fast running river. It felt like bliss relaxing in a hot outdoor bath (I was exhausted from walking to glacier lookouts earlier in the day) and then later going to sleep to the sound of the river and rain drops on the pond. Wendy met me on arrival showed me around and then made excellent bread and coffee for breakfast (later I discovered she previously had a coffee roasting business)!
I will definitely be going back and highly recommend to anyone who loves nature. This was a stand out heart and soul type of property and host to me.
