Highest recommendations to stay at this beautiful spot. A private and relaxing hideout in the native bush, the outdoor fire place and shower/ bath connect you to nature whilst eco friendly, easy to compost and the most luxury long drop toilet. The space itself is beautifully appointed and well thought out with everything you could need (cocktail shaker, hot water bottle, to coffee grinder, cards etc). We thoroughly enjoyed cooking meals on the bbq, reading our books listening to the birds, we had a typical 4 seasons in one weekend type of weekend and it made no difference - great staycation thats not too far from Auckland. Perfectly comfortable bed for 2x 6ft + people. Proximity to Piha beach is super close and a 15min walk to Mercer Bay Loop track. Looking forward to stay again and checking out Misty Mountain Hut in Ruapehu, thanks again Antje!
