Lovely host, accomodated us for arriving early. Comfortable beds, good facilities.Parking is very very tight as buildings are quite close together as we had a van.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
This probably used to be a wonderful cottage in the bush, but is unfortunately now somewhat neglected. Could be great again with a thorough clean, a lick of paint, and functioning appliances. The beds are good and the location very convenient for upper hutt station/Wellington.
This place is soo beautiful, if you love the bush and river type scenery then you will love this place for sure even just to get out of the hussle and bussle of the cities. The accommodation itself is very nice and quite big perfect for families. Floor standing heatpump can heat the entire place up within 15 minutes, great ventilation, awesome place for dogs, it well and truly is a great experience and i recommend people to try it out. Lovely host family
Enjoy the theme! The place is basic but just what you need to have some quiet time and space away from the hustle & bustle! Could use some large couches for lounging on & a little tidy up in the porch area. Unfortunately there was too many wasps during the day for me to enjoy it to the fullest. The walk down to river is lovely, so we will be back in summer to enjoy swimming there and to stay again. Parking is sufficient but limited area to turn around.
We expected a lovely retreat in the bush but very disappointed to find the accommodation rundown and not clean. The host was elusive and the surroundings had items of old furniture left to rot outside and more junk. The outside bath was not usable. Definitely not worth the 500 we paid for the two nights.
