About the host
Hosted by Rebecca
It is a pleasure to see other people enjoy the beautiful surroundings, nature, the bush, scenery out to the ocean and the river and just get away from the hustle and bustle of life for a few nights!
Why they chose this property
It is private, beautiful scene - bush, river, birds and nature while still only a 25-minute drive to the ocean or town shops! Best of both worlds and just stunning to live out here especially for a girl from the City!!
What makes this property unique
The combination of Bush, river, views, cabins, privacy and the birdlife makes this a great kiwi spot and in the Bay of Plenty - close to so many other awesome activities and places!
