We had such a lovely stay in The Snug! Ali was a great host - she asked us whether we would like to be greeted on arrival or have total privacy, which was so thoughtful. We were stoked to be greeted and to be shown around her lovely garden. The cabin was very cosy with everything we needed. The kitchen was really usable and the composting toilet was super well designed. Being able to see the beautiful stars from bed was a massive bonus! Ali showed us how to get down to the river for a swim which was a real treat. We also went blackberry picking all along the road, then sat in bed watching the rain pour down outside eating our crop.
Definitely an adventure getting here and although not far from Otaki, it's not a drive I'd want to do every day so come prepared with food so you can make the most of your time in paradise! Insect repellent is another must have, being this deep in the beautiful valley.
Overall we had a lovely stay and can't wait to come back in winter to try out the fire!
