About this property

"Tui Lodge & cabin" - in touch with nature"

Tui Lodge and cabin compliments Kowhai House BnB (be sure to check out both listings :)

This Tiny House has an additional cabin bedroom discreetly located on the same deck behind a privacy screen, so perfectly suited for familys with kids or couples travelling together.

The 190m2 deck that ties this beautiful accommodation together offers spectacular views over pristine native bush. It also houses the outside double bath, entertainers sunken firepit and alfresco dining area.
EV charger onsite

Tui Lodge is ideal for a couple travelling alone, or a larger group (family or two couples) with a deck of 190m2 which provides spectacular views over pristine New Zealand native bush. This bush allows native birds both during daylight (Tui and Kereru) and after dark (Morkpork owl) to come into close proximity with guests

We hope during your visit you will take full advantage of the Indonesian stone bath, our sunken firepit and outside alfresco dining area.

The design of Tui Lodge has been to compliment nature and not compete with it, but also to provide different options. So we added a private cabin in the deck that's discretely positioned for additional guests, should you require the additional space....

PS EV charger onsite Level 2 with two types of charging cable onsite. Competitive rate and app info available upon request.
Guest access
Guests have full access to Tui Lodge there are no shared areas with the hosts or other guests.

The Tui cabin is beautifully positioned with a second bedroom should guests require it

Our room rate is based on an occupancy of two people in Tui Lodge.
The additional guest rate is designed to provide flexibility and encourage larger groups by opening up access to the cabin - hope you enjoy it :)

About the host

Hosted by Dave Cooke

Host profile image
My wife and I have been on the property for over 25 yrs and as our children spread their wings we decided to develop and promote the accommodation facilities in order to share our unique location.

Why they chose this property

The positioning of the Tiny Homes takes full advantage of the stunning views over virgin bush, with spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

What makes this property unique

The tranquil setting has commanding views over gullys and river that flows into Lake McLaren, by day the Tui and Kereru occupy the treetops but by night our local Morepork, Kiwi and Deer frequent the surrounding bush and landscaped areas. The native plantings ensure total privacy.
