Awesome place in the bush, off the grid, solar panels, real rustic charm. Yep, as mentioned the driveway is a knarly Kiwi driveway, needing a bit of grunt to get up, but I'm used to Kiwi roads and if you are a pussy driver you probably would complain about it. We had no issues even though our Toyota Wish was loaded with 3 teenagers, 2 adults and a big dog! Soo cool to be able to have the peace and quiet of such an amazing place to ourselves, and to be able to take our dog. It is a reasonably long trip from Auckland, but the charm of the country is there, lots of very well set up solar lights, great warm shower. Don't go if you want a fancy hotel, it's not that, but a very good place to get away from Wiifi and city life. Loved it and would love to go again. Great value.
