This little cabin in a farm setting was perfect for our 2-night stay to hike on Mount Taranaki. It would be possible to prepare a basic dinner but beware that there is no stove top or oven in the kitchenette. There is plenty of light, high ceilings and curtains on the window, and two sliding glass doors but if you are light sensitive, the morning light will wake you. The majority of the large open space (except the bathroom) is carpeted. The shower is large and delightful however there are no towel racks and only one towel per person. We would be pleased to stay there again for a similar trip.
