We had a lovely stay at Janet's place. The Retreat offers an ideal Remutaka bush experience - secluded and peaceful with a spectacular view, but still within minutes of all the good trails and amenities in the area. Janet and Brian (and Ruby, the Border Collie) were great hosts - friendly and helpful, yet respectful of privacy. The cabin is beautifully finished with a number of nice details and everything you need - it's clean, comfortable and an excellent find by all accounts! Just what we were looking for.
