What an amazing gem! It’s seriously like being on your own private island! Nestled on this countryside hilltop is a adorable tiny house overlooking the beautiful turquoise ocean. Cute little seating areas surround the house BUT the main attraction...perhaps the best bathtub in New Zealand! Whomever decided to put the bathtub right there, overlooking the ocean, is a design genius!
No joke, it’s a 2 hour uphill hike, but when you arrive...amazing! Ok ok, to be honest we were quite late for check-in (didn’t end up doing the initial hike to the hut) however, they were totally accommodating and best thing is Danielle’s dad was awaiting our arrival and had already anticipated giving us a ride (such a nice guy). It was just one of those kind & thoughtful gestures that makes the world a better place. It was awesome to chat with him and to find out he built all the huts with his bare hands, “every single screw!”. A true renaissance man, that’s sexy!
This was just such a cool experience, I couldn’t have asked for more. Well done friends!
A side note:
If you’re not a hiker you should still stay here. For $30 each way, you can get a ride to the hut. Small price to pay for a private island stay. You’ll love it!
