If you want some peace and quet; this is the place to go! The hideaway is well equipped so we took our own provisions and got away from it all for a night. Once the fire was lit, we were nice and cosy even though the weather was a bit grim. Once the clouds cleared we had a lovely moonlit walk along the track to see the stars and listen to the local wildlife. I think we heard a kiwi and some moreporks in the valley.
Maxine's directions were spot on and we had no problems finding the place. When we arrived the power was down but Bruce came and found us to give us an update (and deliver some lovely fresh milk!). It was great to spend the night in such a tranquil spot and not have the distraction of email/phone.
