"Tui Lodge & cabin" - in touch with nature"
Tui Lodge and cabin compliments Kowhai House BnB (be sure to check out both listings :)
This Tiny House has an additional cabin bedroom discreetly located on the same deck behind a privacy screen, so perfectly suited for familys with kids or couples travelling together.
The 190m2 deck that ties this beautiful accommodation together offers spectacular views over pristine native bush. It also houses the outside double bath, entertainers sunken firepit and alfresco dining area. EV charger onsite
Tui Lodge is ideal for a couple travelling alone, or a larger group (family or two couples) with a deck of 190m2 which provides spectacular views over pristine New Zealand native bush. This bush allows native birds both during daylight (Tui and Kereru) and after dark (Morkpork owl) to come into close proximity with guests
We hope during your visit you will take full advantage of the Indonesian stone bath, our sunken firepit and outside alfresco dining area.
The design of Tui Lodge has been to compliment nature and not compete with it, but also to provide different options. So we added a private cabin in the deck that's discretely positioned for additional guests, should you require the additional space....
PS EV charger onsite Level 2 with two types of charging cable onsite. Competitive rate and app info available upon request. Guest access Guests have full access to Tui Lodge there are no shared areas with the hosts or other guests.
The Tui cabin is beautifully positioned with a second bedroom should guests require it
Our room rate is based on an occupancy of two people in Tui Lodge. The additional guest rate is designed to provide flexibility and encourage larger groups by opening up access to the cabin - hope you enjoy it :)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle. Housekeeping is available on request.
