We absolutely loved our quick family getaway! Really wish we could have stayed longer! The outside tub and the fantails in the morning was the highlight! The views are breathtaking! The house was so clean and we had everything we needed! Thanks Resh and Gemma!

Hughly recommended if you want to get away - the location is so beautiful, forest as far as the eye can see, with your own private forest walk. The house itself is amazing too - clean, modern, just like the pictures. The host is very reaponsive, couldn't fault it, 5 stars

We had the most amazing stay here for our anniversary! The hosts went above and beyond with thoughtful extra touches that made our celebration feel so special, and we really appreciated the effort they put in.The place was spotless, beautifully presented, and so easy to access. Everything was exactly as described, making it a completely stress-free getaway.The highlight was definitely the outdoor tub - the view from there is absolutely breathtaking and worth the stay on its own. It was such a peaceful and memorable experience.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway - we’ll definitely be back!

We had a very relaxing time and loved our stay! Our favourite parts were that we couldn’t hear any traffic, the view outside was beautiful, the tub with bubble bath was great. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, having a bath in the rain was nice. We loved the chocolate treat and marshmallows on arrival. The piwaiwaka (fantails) visiting was very cute! The heater worked well if we got cold and we loved the fact there are bunk beds if we come back again and bring the kids. We recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from the big city as it was only a 40min drive from Auckland so not too far yet it felt like we were further away because of how quiet it was. Thank you so much for having us!
