Mark’s place is a quiet retreat in nature. The place is private and surrounded by trees, with fantails at the window and tuis singing in the trees. The outside shower was lovely and while the longdrop (outhouse) wasn’t a 5* bathroom, the space was bright and colorful (loved the murals). Sitting in the living room in the evening with a fire burning, reading to my daughter by candlelight, was enchanting. If you want a rustic reatreat with a well equipped kitchen and authentic details, this is the place for you.
