The location and views are absolutely stunning. Being nestled in the bush means that birdlife is all around you, especially at dusk, but kākā and ruru are active at night. The house is quirky and has a great library of books and board games. The solar panels supplied enough electricity and we had ample hot water - there's a great shower. The ADSL internet access is not great, but 4G reception was good. There are no curtains, which makes for fabulous views, but you may want to bring a mask for sleeping and privacy is reduced - we had a few unexpected visits.
