It’s not often that a perfect getaway is found but The Cabin at Pouto is one. We drove the 70 kms from Dargaville along a rural road to find a secluded oasis with everything one could wish for. Views and walks a city dweller would dream of, all facilities, spotlessly clean, silent excerpt for birds, occasional cattle and the surf, comfortable bed, fabulous verandah - it goes on. Wish we’d have booked for two nights instead of 1. This place is a rare jewel
