We had a wonderful stay at Kahere Retreat. The cabin is a unique experience with every element hand crafted and all built by Danny. Danny and Judith have really worked to make the cabin fit in with the natural environment: the shower with its schist walls and stone floors makes you feel like you're under a warm waterfall! We enjoyed the quiet and peaceful setting and hearing the ruru (morepork) calling at night. Judith and Danny are very friendly and helpful hosts. This set up provides just the right mix of privacy and company for a very relaxing stay. It's a great place to come home to after engaging in outdoor adventures in Franz Josef.
