Awesome place to stay
We had a great stay at Dan and Kaths the accomodation was top knotch and comfortable a real change from Boring motel rooms. The batch has a unique feel to it having no power and a charming atmosphere with a great covered outside area to just relax and enjoy the views of surrounding Harihari we look forward to staying here again in the future

Hari Hari
Booked as a dog friendly stop off on long journey. A magical place, wish were had time to stay longer. A hidden gem. We loved the fact that it was off grid but certainly did not miss out on any luxuries. Fabulously decorated and kitted out. We loved it. Great hosts. Thank you.

Perfect off grid lodge
The lodge in itself is very unique. A work of love and attention to detail is amazing. Light a bonfire in the fire pit and sit on the covered deck with a bevy. There's almost no light pollution so if you want to soak in the wood fired bath and watch the night sky. Amethyst hot pools is a must. Natural hot spring located up the river. The native bird life is flourishing and you hear many different birds. Even moreporks talking to each other. Very still and quiet. Dan and Kath make their own honey and cider and i recommend that you try both. The local buther in Hari Hari does awesome sausages. We cooked ours on the pot belly with bread and sauce. Yum!! We had such a great time and we were well taken care of. Definitely be coming back real soon. I cant wait.

Great Disconnect
Well equipped little hut that is ideal to disconnect from the world and just chill out. They've done a great job of making the hut comfortable and functional without frills. We didn't end up using the bath because it was just too hard to get fire going. A little attention here would make that more enjoyable and usable.

Awesome stay in a quaint and quirky offgrid cottage which was presented with much pride by the owner, Dan. He was a very hospitable host and made us feel most welcome. Very homely and wholesome. Loved the local produce too. We will come again Thank you 😊

Fantastic place!
What a great place to stay! Kath and Dan have created a beautiful and novel experience in lovely Hari Hari. The stove to heat the water is a special treat and the thoughtful design and artistic approach to the lodge is unique and beautiful. Great use of up cycled materials and local wood and stone. Loved this place! Thanks again Dan and Kate!

This was our first bach and what a fantastic start! We've been here 2 days and were deligthed by the views and random visits of Mellow (the dog). The bach is cosy and we had very nice contact with the hostes who was very flexibel with changing the date.

Even though it rained for 3 days we had an amazing time. The cabin was warm and totally charming and the deck a perfect place to curl up on the chair and read a book. Totally recommend.
