About this property

FALCONS VIEW: Spacious Studio with Breathtaking Views

Falcons View is nestled in the Ruahine Ranges. Private and elevated there are views of the rolling rural landscapes from every window.
The Studio is a low voltage off-grid system. There is a Queen Bed, Self-contained kitchenette, wood stove, gas cooker, and solar lighting. It still gets reception for most mobile internet technology. With access to native bush walks, hiking trails, and local wetlands, there is plenty to see while you are here, but take a break; genuinely rest. Unplug and slow down, that's what Falcons View is for.
A significant highlight is the OPTIONAL outside Wood Fired Hot tub that can be requested for $150 hire.

Perfect place to get away from everything. We came up here for a bit of a mini honeymoon post the chaos of wedding and kids. Everything was perfect for us. Hot tub was exceptional. Having to light the fire to warm it up added to the experience. The walks around the cabin were incredible. The amenities the hut offered were perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us.

We loved our stay so much it was the perfect romantic getaway!! Access to private trails around the property was so special. We spent time birdwatching, taking in the beautiful native flora and fauna and enjoying the breathtaking view from various lookouts. In the evening we lit the fire and enjoyed some cozy movie watching inside the cabin. So perfect all around thank you!

This place is a hidden gem. One of the best location and accommodation we've stayed so far. Amazing view of the sunset across the horizon. It was also raining throughout our stay and being in the hot tub while raining is just so relaxing. We'll definitely be back here soon.

About the host

Hosted by Orelle McDonald

Host profile image
The McDonald’s moved to Rangiwahia in 2009. Hamish and Orelle chose to home-educate their growing family and as a result, each of the children have been hands-on developing the land, buildings, gardens, animal husbandry, machinery and most anything that pertains to the country living lifestyle. They are not superhuman. The years have not come without challenges. Falcons View was created to take time out from the intensity of those challenges. The family have chosen to share that with others.

Why they chose this property

Falcons View is situated on 70 acres of farmland with regenerated bush at the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. Designed and built in 2019 by the family, it became an avenue to bless others and to financially support their large family and charitable endeavors. Profits are used to sponsor and support health, education and humanitarian aid projects in New Zealand and the South Pacific through ADRA. For more information go to: https://basecamprangi.com and https://adra.org.nz

What makes this property unique

This retreat was named Falcons View due to the frequent NZ Falcon's that live in the surrounding habitats and also for the sprawling vastness that drenches each window.
The optional wood fired Hot Tub makes you feel like time can slow down after all. With the cosy wood stove during the colder months, the simple studio layout and complimentary off-grid power, it still has the comforts of home that will make your stay a place to renew your strength and reach new heights again.
