What a special piece of Golden Bay paradise this is! I was looking for somewhere to be alone and just REST -- and I found it :)
Flax Pod is unique and wonderful in so many ways - from the outside bath, the view, the location (only 12min to town) and the most hospitable hosts. This is an ideal place to unwind and be close to nature.
It was raining for most of my stay and it did not deter from my need to be in nature, to be alone and my desire to bathe outside.
Kim and Andrew most definitely deserve their super-host status. They could not do enough to make my stay lovely, whilst giving me all the privacy I needed.
Their natural style and obvious love of the environment were evident in how much care and attention they have put into designing and building this delightful 'pod'.
It is simple, comfortable and has just enough kitchen facilities to cook a meal.
I am looking forward to returning to see the stars at night, soak in that innovative outdoor bath, and catch the glow worms which I hear are close by -- ! imagine it is outstanding from this amazing location! (Too cloudy for my trip)
Another bonus that was challenging for me and so, so, so necessary -- no Wifi! (But data was easy from inside if needed)
In an age where we seem to be on call via our phones all the time, no Wifi is just heaven.
Flax Pod really is an ideal place for time out.
