Hideaway at Woodfort Estate

JasmineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A beautiful, secluded and picturesque stay for a special birthday. The pictures do not do the amazing views justice! The place was cozy and sweet, the outdoor bath is very cool to sit out and watch the stars, with some cute sheep in the next door paddock to keep you company. Don’t be deterred by the long driveway, it is totally manageable and so worth it, it’s like being on top of the world when you sit and enjoy a cuppa on the porch. Many thanks!

The Gazebo

GuilhermeRating, 5 stars4 days ago

The Gazebo is what it's looks: a beautiful and cozy place to spend calm days! The outdoor shower with the stars views is incredible and the water was always very warm, same as at the bath tube with the sunset view. There are a few activities to do around the house and we were happily surprised with the volleyball net! Would return to spend more days exploring the hike and river at the area.

The Rimu Hut: Luxury riverside and off-grid

EllaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

My partner and I had very peaceful weekend away in the rimu hut. The surroundings are beautiful, and the hut itself has everything you could need. The wood fired bath is an added bonus, and the minimeg fireplace keeps the hut warm throughout the night. There was a mix of all weathers during our stay, with more rainbows than I could count, and the farm and our time there remained lovely throughout. Thank you for providing such a special space! : )

Waterfront Tiny House

ShelleyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

What an anazing location and incredible hospitality. From the well crafted welcome email to the quick replies to my a million annoying emails, to all of the extras provided. everything was on point. Real thought has gone into the provisioning of this tiny home and the location is stunning. Nestled on the waters edge, it was anazing to sit outside in the pure NZ air, listening to the waves lapping softly on the shore and the cries of the wildllife whilst the brazier was roaring away. We were lucky enough to have seen Dave Dobbyn on Wednesday evening and his song - Slice of Heaven seems fitting to really describe this truely unique location.
