This was my second stay at Te Whare, this time by myself for 3 nights. I just love this place, so peaceful, quiet and warmed by the sun with the most amazing views and beautiful interior touches. No plastic anywhere and repurposed fittings, some interesting books, maps and magazine and binoculars to watch the birds in the trees etc. I didn't see anyone except when I walked to the start of the Heaphy Track, bumped into a lovely lady who lives down the road. Very good value for money and supporting the Kea Conservation Trust. Thanks so much Anna for providing this place, very relaxing and rejuvenating to stay at Te Whare and I will come back again!
