The Decor of the house was shabby chic and a lot of thought had gone into giving it a homely feel. We admired some of the interesting pictures. The beds were super comfy with satin feel sheets. The garden was lovely and peaceful with birds chirping. The grass had even been cut. There was an outside seating and dining area. There was an outside line and an airer for drying clothes outside. Also a tumble drier if required. We didn't use the BBQ or the trampoline! We didn't even mind the occasional aircraft noise from the nearby airport as we live close to one at home.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at this unique cabin. Such a brilliant location with the most special view (even when we had a bit of rain on our final morning) and incredible surroundings. Photos really cannot do this place justice - it’s just beautiful and the little patio area is perfect for enjoying some outside time in this part of the world. This cabin offers a really unique and cosy stay, and we would definitely recommend. Having spent five weeks travelling around NZ and staying in many different types of accommodation, this was the standout! We could not have asked for better or more friendly hosts either - thank you so much David and Sandy, especially for all your tips while in the area!
