For our biennial visit to the Waipoua forest and to the majestic “Tane Mahuta”, this year we chose this property to stay.
Had a very peaceful, pleasant and tranquil stay – felt very connected to the Mother Earth & Mother Nature. Huge open plan living area consists of a well appointed pantry, dining and lounge, lavishly installed with wide clear windows right around, so that you don’t miss a single aspect of the hills, vegetation, valley and water falls (after a rain). Wrap around decking provided an option to sit out to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the Waima forest, valley, birds, rainbow, etc. (Photos on the website did not do justice to the actual ambiance). Very private as the owners residence is well out of sight. Hosts Candy & Rawiri are most pleasant, full of information with deep local knowledge, sharing with us a bit of history of the area, felt very connected with them. Felt sad leaving on the last day.... well... all good things must come to an end.....inevitably. Candy & Rawiri, Thanks for sharing with us your piece of paradise!
