We absolutely loved our stay at the Misty Mountain Hut. We needed a few days to get over our jet lag from our travels from the US and this was the best place to do it. Great access to local hikes and the black sands beach. We loved going to the Piha Store for local hand pies, sweet treats and great coffee. Plus the outdoor shower and bathtub were amazing in the misty rain. And if you like fresh produce and herbs you are welcome to pick them from the garden. I wish we had more time here!
