Ngahere Hou is abolsutely amazing. The setting is fantastic with ever changing views over Kenepuru sound. The accomodation is flawless - and a great experience. We really relaxed and enjoyed our time here. The hottub was great and Ian took us on a walk to see glowworms which was a highlight.
The track down from the Queen Charlotte track is not to be underestimated. It's a long walk (1.2km) down a very steep track (300m descent) and quite hard to follow through the forest. Suggest looking at the description on their website before booking if walking QC-track as description on airbnb does not adequately describe the location in relation to track. We were dreading the hike back up the hill to the Queen Charlotte track so much that we abandoned our third day of walking in favour of relaxing at the accomodation in the morning, enjoying the views and the breakfast provided, but missing out some of our walk.
After a long days walk, and a long trek down the hill our group had separated a little. The two of us who arrived later received a very unfriendly welcome, after having knocked the door a few times, we were abruptly told to "go over there" and shoed in the direction of our friends and Ian who was showing them around the accommodation - which was not visible from the end of the track down.
That being said it didn't take long to relax and recuperate in this amazing location.
