Loved everything about our stay. The cabin was charming and well-appointed with a great bed and very functional little kitchen, equipped with good quality pans and all the basic necessities. The bathroom area, which is in a separate little hut, very close to the cabin, was very clean and spacious. We very much enjoyed sitting out on the porch, watching the daily routine of chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. The fire pit with an ample supply of wood is a great addition. The property itself is fun to explore and you can swim in the river, which is only a hundred metres or so from the cabin (although we didn't this time!). Walks in the spectacular Karangaheke gorge are only 15 minutes drive away, as is Waihi Beach, with its surfing, bars and a surprisingly active music scene. Finally, Caron herself was very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to chat while she was feeding the chickens, and she responded promptly to all our requests.
