Stunning views from the hut. The hut is neat and tidy comes with a full share kitchen and seating area. The owner put in a lot effects in making the guests comfortable and having great farm living experience. They are trying to remove the non native trees and let the station back to what it was really let us admire. Hopefully when next visit they will have lots of sheeps. Highly recommend.

Amazing! I literally have no words – this place blew my mind. Steve and Joanna are so warm and genuine, and you can see their love in every single detail of the setup. It’s like they thought of everything before I even knew I wanted it. The hot tub under the stars was unforgettable, the sunrise soak was just as amazing, and the morning coffee was perfect. Truly a 10/10 stay.

We had friends visiting from Vancouver and we were all blown away by this unique setup and location. Great communication from owner. Yurt would be beautiful for a romantic getaway. It has one very large at least king size bed the other bed for us was a pull out couch which was very comfortable. Have a great kitchenette, all facilities, just need to bring milk for tea and coffee which is provided. Fridge ,bbq etc. Nice modern shower and toilet. This is outside the yurt, but well lit with sensor solar lights. So 4 adults have a very comfortable stay. The view and location are just fabulous you can walk down the the beach in around 5mins (there are a few stairs to do this) and when you get there its just stunning. We walked to the local pub for dinner and they did a pretty decent basic dinner. We really enjoyed this stay would highly recommend and will be back. Thanks

Incredible and unique experience. From the self drive buggy up the hill, to the mind blowing views in every direction. Absolutely unforgettable stay and we wished we'd had longer! Beautiful and luxurious amenities and facilities. Great access to surrounding natural beauty, including the best walk we did on our new Zealand trip. Friendly and responsive hosts! 10/10 don't hesitate!

Close to nature , beautiful, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He baked amazing bread and croissants every morning, came and picked us up from various places and lent us his kayaks and bikes. He was truly friendly and a lovely person. The vibe of the place is in tune with nature. At night you can watch the beautiful sunset from the comfort of an outdoor sofa and slow right down to the rhythm of the earth.

It's definitely a life-time experience! It's beyond my expectation and imagination! The domes are on the hills and you can have a great view of the lake. Kitchen and shower facility are more than enough. We can cook and use BBQ to prepare wonderful food. Water is enough for 3 people to have a brief but very warm shower. Room settings are very considerate, with all the blankets and rugs to keep you warm. In a clear night, you can see the galaxy very clearly. The hosts are very helpful and welcoming, and there are a few things need to bear in mind: - please read the manual inside dome carefully once arrived, very helpful for your stay - no signal around the camp - could be cold in the evening the inside the dome (nevertheless, hot water bottle, blankets are provided and you will see the breathtaking landscape) Finally, as I said, it’s a life-time experience beyond expectation and imagination!

Truly wonderful experience! Everything about the glamping tents is very well designed and every possible need anticipated. Warm, cosy, modern, efficient, handsome… even elegant! This takes “glamping” to a five-star level. We’ll definitely be back.

A wonderful location , so close to town yet so very private, tucked in out of the wind with amazing sunset views. My wife loved the outdoor bath under the stars . . Every thing was well thought out and we had everything we needed .We had spent our previous 5 nights in a “luxury” hotel in Dunedin but to us this was , though different, a great deal better . Even the bedding and pillows were better and the room size not that much different .A great place to stay . Gerald and Tricia
