This place is absolutely amazing! The aesthetic is so cute, and it has everything you need! Except electricity- it doesn’t have any electricity which is a super fun and awesome experience but it was hard to charge my phone that’s all. There’s plenty of lanterns and flashlights and a fire burner and a gas stove. No refrigerator but there is a pantry:). All of the beds are super warm and comfy and they all have an amazing view of the stars. As a stargazer it was unexplainable! You can see so many stars and constellations it was incredible! The drive there is a bit windy but not many cars so don’t worry about driving slow :) it’s also pretty deep, so youll definitely want a rental car. There’s a bit of a sharp turn going to the Rimu Hut, but it’s doable and worth it and there’s a parking spot right next to it. There’s no front gate so you actually have to climb over a very short small fence to get to the hut, but there’s wood steps to help you step over it :).
Ken is literally the best and sweetest host ever! He’s so hospitable and kind and was available to help me at any time with any problem. He went above and beyond to make sure my stay was great! He had recommendations for local things to do and there’s many brochures and recommendations inside the hut as well. He has such a lovely piece of land and even just exploring around the hut is an experience itself! If i could give more stars for this experience i would! 12/10 it was amazing and im so happy and grateful for this experience!
This hut would be amazing and so fun for a group or couple as well! I’m a solo traveler but there are 4 beds so it’s perfect for a group of friends or family. Everything is also super clean- one of the best airbnb places I have ever stayed!
