It was a great treat to stay at this unusual, fascinating and very comfortable house. For a group of 4 couples it was just perfect, spacious and with a very well equipped kitchen plus an excellent large BBQ. We had beautiful calm and sunny weather to enjoy the large patio and garden where much fun was had with the giant Jenga set. The indoor/outdoor bathroom was a novelty, artistic and beautiful. The shower is hot and strong as you look onto the ferns and bush. May be a little chilly getting out of it in winter though! We were a little anxious about running out of solar power, but all was well, we survived without hair dryers, and it was an interesting experience for us all. Rebecca was a very helpful and responsive host, and we would certainly recommend this house for anyone who would like a peaceful get away. Our only neighbours were fantails, bellbirds, 2 large kereru, and a large tui community swooping through the garden and it's surrounding trees. We visited the nearby river park/camping area and also did a good short bush walk. Both only 5 minutes drive from the house. Many thanks to Rebecca and her parents for a wonderful stay.
