Staying in this wee cabin right at the foot of the spectacular mountain ranges really is getting away from it all, but you're only a few minutes from Matamata if you need to shop or a bit of busyness.
This cabin is REALLY close to the Wairere falls, which is such a great wee hike, and the huge open space is just fantastic for dogs - my dog LOVED his stay here.
The cabin is very small - I experienced a bit of wild weather, and the cabin gets a bit battered by the rain and wind - to be honest it was so lovely sitting inside with the weather raging with the heater on
There is JUST enough room to lay out a yoga mat at the foot of the beds. It was good for me and my little dog, and hugely more comfortable than camping, which we are used to, but for more than one person I'd suggest leaving extra bags etc in the car, or packing minimally, because there isn't a huge amount of room for storage etc.
The toilet/ kitchen/ bathroom block is a couple of steps outside, and again, is miles above walking to a kitchen block ages away at a campground.
There is everything you need there, and a few lovely extras - there's tea, coffee, fruit, breakfast goods, farm fresh eggs, milk, and a few little treats. It's really lovely.
Leanne is friendly, available, approachable, and replies fast, but she also leaves you to have your own space.
And a big plus for me is how environmentally friendly the place is - recycling and composting are provided, as well as a rubbish bin.
Thanks for having me and Rupert to stay - it was a really lovely couple of nights.
