Our guests have private access to there own detached unit, and full use of your own large separate kitchen facilities. Our beautiful property is surrounded by a mixture of mature native and exotic trees which is prolific with native bird life, while being perfectly situated on the banks of the Pelorus river .
The river is a stones throw from your doorstep with swimming a must do activity in summer .
The Unit has recently had a full make over as the whole property was run down when we purchased over a year ago. So please be mindful we are still working on other areas of the property however your space is clean and comfortable.
We live a busy lifestyle with a mixture of hobbies which include hunting , fishing , kayaking & fitness while also watching our young children thrive in the beautiful surroundings. but we are more than happy to interact with guests and answer any questions you may have, or let you be if you prefer
