This rustic hut was a good base located between Karangahake Gorge and Waihi Beach - visiting all the animals (chickens, turkeys, guinea pigs, dogs) was a plus! Be aware that you’ll be up close and personal with lots of spiders and dust - some of the kitchen tools looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in quite awhile! Similarly for the bikes, they seemed a bit neglected and we were unable to get them in decent condition, which was a shame. That being said, Caron was very kind and welcoming.
