Tucked away amongst the trees in a peaceful, private, secluded spot, it’s the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and escape the ordinary.
With sustainability at its heart, we’ve created a space that boasts all the comforts of home, but with a twist.
Enjoy outdoor cooking and dining in all-weather under the massive, covered deck. Have a soak in his and hers outdoor baths under the stars. Enjoy the warmth and toast marshmallows over the fire pit. Spot eels in the pond, Morepork in the trees and explore "The Forest", climbing a tree if you feel adventurous or relax and listen to the birdsong.

No TV here, we’re all about connection, but we’ve got unlimited Wi-Fi and a projector ( for your device with HDMI or VGA output) and a bluetooth soundbar/sub for your beats, movie nights or the big game.
The entire space is available for use both indoors and out, including a generous grassed area and "The Forest" across the footbridge. We just ask you to respect the property and the land for others to enjoy after you.
All bedding, bath towels, liquid soap, shampoo & conditioner is provided. Please byo beach towels.
