10/10 Excellent

Peaceful, private and out of the way. A lovely place to relax and recharge. Bring your own food and cook in the communal kitchen or lovely restaurants 10 minute drive away. Will definately book a return stay here.

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely well done ended a three week holiday in the South Island. Best night sleep . just loved the whole experience
Mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Unit was small but adequate, a bit pricey for what we got. Bread not replaced each day not spreads, TV does not work, internet unreliable. Could do with toilet paper holder, towels should have been replaced every couple of days or at least give us a area to replace ourselves we stayed 6, rubbish needed to be emptied or give us liners to remove ourselves each day.
Sharyn, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really cool huts

Great concept of huts offering unique experience. Sauna and well-equipped kitchen!
Jos, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cute elevated houses with everything you need. Very nice bathroom and showers. Well kept garden.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful little cabin in a quiet and wonderfully maintained bit of land. Amazing dark sky view of the Milky Way. A perfect and relaxing stop. We wish we had spent more time there and if we ever make it back to NewZealand we will make a sure we stop over again.

8/10 Good

Quiet and nice place to stay. We had an issue with a window screen in our place that let 100s of gnats in which was disgusting to deal with. Otherwise the place was quiet and scenic. Just a little more rustic than we had wanted.
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a gorgeous place - stunningly beautiful location, and the huts are designed, built and furbished to an extremely high standard. The sauna with a view, and the outdoor bath (for nighttime stargazing, in our case) were both very special experiences. The shared kitchen.is generously equipped. The little reading caravan is fabulous. We love the whole vibe of this place, and will return if we can.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a wonderful property! We rented the one bedroom “hut” with a private bath. The little hut was adorable, very clean and nicely outfitted. The grounds were amazing, with a well stocked shared kitchen, cute little living area, washing machine and open air drying area and lots of rabbits too! Fellow residents were a wonderful bunch and we enjoyed meeting everyone. You can also rent ebikes on site and they gave us an amazing discount on really high quality bikes. There is a trail system connected to the property. A wonderful beach at Rabbit island is a twenty minute ride or a 10 minute drive away. This place would also be an incredible site for a wedding or a corporate retreat. (My understanding is that the main house is rentable too and there are big tents already set up on the property.) We are already plotting a return to our hut!
Catherine, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

A small cabin in a big valley surrounded by vineyards. The setup was lovely and we had a great night sleep. You did have to walk to the shared bathrooms which wasn't convenient, but if you want a regular hotel experience then go stay in a regular hotel. The surrounding area was very peaceful, and there were some nice walks and wineries nearby. We found some dead ants in our cabin, but once we cleared those out, we had no other issues
Bryce, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Breakfast was so rich and good! The view tough - Oh my! How lovely and the house is more like a mansion. Very practical with washing machine etc! Just perfect! A place to stay and relax

Beautiful place, loved the outside bath. Early June and it was so tranquil under the stars sitting in a hot bath. Great seeing all the little rabbits.
