对我们来说是一个很好很难忘的地方，与众不同。特别是房东夫妇带我们在湿地徒步，夜晚观察荧光虫，独特的体验。房东特别友好，还给我们提供了一些食品。

Fantastic place to escape from the rat race, relax and reconnect with the things in life that really matter. The hosts where as good as it gets; we were even taken for a night excursion to see glow worms, kuras, cave wetas, native fish and slugs!!! The nearby wetlands park contains ample of info about the areas past and is well worth a visit.

Perfect hiding spot in the wilderness

A dream comes true - perfect spot to relax, hike and explore the nature. Sally and Giff are the perfect hosts, talk to them about their honey, the glowworms and the swamp, they have a lot of very interesting things to tell.

Peacefully quiet trip away

A journey into the wilderness to get away from it all! Friendly, hospitable hosts who were happy to take you to see glow worms, cave weta and freshwater crayfish locally and provide a meal if pre-booked.

Quite a drive to get there on gravel roads but worth the effort. Make sure you get supplies before going. Good BBQ and cook top. Friendly hosts, took us on lovely glow worm, native fresh water Crays and cave wetas tour at night.

A special place in a beautiful location

This is a special wild and beautiful location. The units are cleverly designed, very comfortable and have everything you need. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Fabulous dinner. We especially liked the piece of coast just south of Paturau river.
