Great location
I stayed here for two nights in February 2023 after the cyclone, so no power and many road slips. However Kate was very friendly and accommodating. It's a great spot overlooking farm/grazing land, and hard to believe only a few minutes from Whangārei. I would stay here again.

Rustic cabin in rural setting
Cabin was exceptionally clean, hosts were welcoming. Aged in our 70’s we were not so keen on having to go outside to use the bathroom, although it too was very clean. Overnight rain made the journey to have a shower a little awkward.

Wonderful
The property is clean, cosy, quiet, and has amazing views. The room is very comfortable. The hosts are super kind and polite. It is as advertised - rainwater, outdoor bathroom, one bedroom with basic kitchen etc. We would definitely recommend for couples and hope to return. The in room guest book is filled with messages from people who have loved staying here. The animals are a bonus and the bird songs are beautiful.
