Rustic, spacious, well equipped and comfortable, with lovely, responsive and helpful hosts. Highly recommended for stays of any length. It is located is a quiet, beautiful, secluded valley but only 10 minutes from a train station with regular trains into Wellington or infrequent trains into the wine growing Wairapa. Central Upper Hutt is only a couple of minutes further on and whilst this is not a tourist destination in itself it is well served with shops, cafes, gyms, parks, a cinema and a very good swimming complex. Wellington is only around 40 minutes drive away as is the Wairapa and there are plenty of great tramps within 20 minutes drive
