We loved our stay at Tara Valley Cabin despite being hit by Cyclone Dovi, losing power (like a lot of Northland and Auckland) and one of the neighbour's gum trees coming down and blocking the driveway. Carol was easy to co-ordinate with from start to end, and had the driveway cleared quickly. The place itself is beautifully low-key, was clean and tidy, and has everything you need; comfy bed and linens, fully equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom with an outlook over the cabins to the rolling hills and forest. There is a great fruit and vege garden and a bath under the stars that makes this place feel like an off-grid hideaway with comforts. We hope to come back again one day.
