beautiful spot but be prepared for it. I didn't realise what we're in for until we checked in. its a terrific hunting spot.
no cell coverage to contact host. we had rain on arrival. unlock the gates then re-lock each as you go through. unlock door. solar panels so limited power given weather. We were thankful there was enough to plug in and turn on the fridge. gas cooking. gas hot water which you have to go outside and turn on gas bottle then light pilot light carefully . No fun in rain.
Be prepared to be self sufficient. Take your own linen. take your own toilet paper. take your own towels. no laundry.
Upon exit you have to clean and tidy everything and switch off all gas etc again. restock the firewood too. Take all rubbish with you when you go. Host even asks you to return any empty gas bottles to Christchurch for him.
if I knew what I was in for I would have either booked elsewhere or been better prepared
a really lovely spot to spend a few days if you are prepared for it.
