They have everything we need, the area was spacious, clean and beautiful. The hot tub was perfect, and there's plenty of privacy. All the equipment are in top shape. There's even free eggs because they have chickens.

This is absolutely awesome! Sleeping in the dome and getting a panoramic view of the mountains in the morning is out of this world. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and the facilities are amazing. You get your private hot tub, a BBQ area, a wood fired sauna, and more. It's 2 minutes down to Maerewhenua River full of trout, where you can swim in the refreshing water.

Off grid, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful. Very close to Hamner Springs but feels very rural.

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.

Excellent stay! Kim and Katee were so kind and took the effort to show us around. We loved meeting the animals too. The bed was very comfortable that I felt like I was in a hotel! The views in the evenings and mornings were gorgeous. The place is a short drive to a Woolsworth and restaurants. 100% would recommend.

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.
