The facilities are amazing. The games room was a fabulous bonus that we made full use of. The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable in their glamping pods.

We had friends visiting from Vancouver and we were all blown away by this unique setup and location. Great communication from owner. Yurt would be beautiful for a romantic getaway. It has one very large at least king size bed the other bed for us was a pull out couch which was very comfortable. Have a great kitchenette, all facilities, just need to bring milk for tea and coffee which is provided. Fridge ,bbq etc. Nice modern shower and toilet. This is outside the yurt, but well lit with sensor solar lights. So 4 adults have a very comfortable stay. The view and location are just fabulous you can walk down the the beach in around 5mins (there are a few stairs to do this) and when you get there its just stunning. We walked to the local pub for dinner and they did a pretty decent basic dinner. We really enjoyed this stay would highly recommend and will be back. Thanks

A tiny piece of paradise. That was the best welcome reception we experienced by far in New Zealand. The host has a very good taste for furniture and equipment of the room.

Kūkupa Puni at Akaroa Lavender by Tiny Away

Amazing tiny home in an awesome quiet, peaceful and elevated location with spectacular views down Akaroa harbour. 15 min drive into Akaroa but the tranquil peaceful location is magic. Accomodation is on a lavender farm and there are walking trails and full access to the rows of lavender. Lyn and Malcolm were exceptional hosts! Very friendly, kind and at tentative to our needs. Make sure to purchase some pacific blue lavender essential oil! Nice touches in the tiny house - with cushions that showcase the indigenous pigeons the place is named after and lavender water spray. Note that the toilet is a cassette toilet - this was not a problem for us - but it may be a surprise to others

This is a fine place to stay for a night or two if you’re visiting Doubtful Sound. This was my 3rd stay. Friendly, helpful staff from all over the world. Facilities range from tent camping to hook ups and basic cabins with shared ensuite and kitchen or fully equipped cabins with ensuite & kitchenette. Reasonably priced, beautiful location on Lake Manapouri and within walking distance to the Doubtful Sound cruise.

We loved the location of the retreat on the headland above the beach near Collingwood in Golden Bay. Also having our own cabin in the forest and that the accommodation is dog-friendly.

Brilliant location amongst trees. Very private. Close to the beach and surrounding natural scenery, walks, etc. Basic accommodation and self catering was sufficient for a1 night stay. Rustic, like a mix between camping and cabin. Really friendly hosts.

Excellent base for heading into Abel Tasman. Great view of the sea and mountains from our room. Beds were comfy, and shared amenities close to cabin. Kitchens were well stocked with everything you could need and good number of showers and toilets available to share.

Everything was as I expected. Secluded tho close to lake and beach. Comfy and clean living area in the dome. Outside bbq area open to nature with a roof and partial walls - helped keep connection with the outdoors. A large chilly bin to store food. Bring your own ice!

We rented the caravan by mistake. Thought we were booked in the cabin. Hot tub was okay and the deck was nice. Caravan was small and not really comfy.
