This is a lovely little place. It’s in a small area of bush towards the back of the property, about 100 metres or so from the main house and the other rental property, neither of which you can see from the cabin. It was very quiet and peaceful and if the sky is clear the views of Mt Taranaki really are as beautiful as they look in the photos on the listing.
We were there at the end of October and certainly needed the slow combustion fire going in the evenings but the hosts left us a good amount of dry firewood to use.
The second bedroom is separate from the main cabin, we didn’t use it.
I think it could be pretty cold in cooler weather but good in summer.
We slept in the loft in the main cabin, it has a steep and slightly slippery timber ladder, easy for us but no good if you had any physical issues that may make it difficult to climb, especially in the night.
The cabin is easy to find and all up about 26kms from Mt Egmont visitors centre.
We really enjoyed our stay here, I think the only concern would be that there are no window coverings at all, at night it feels a bit vulnerable and I wouldn’t want to stay there alone as a woman because of that.
