Beautiful Slice of Rural Paradise

Absolutely loved my stay. Anna was an amazing host, the place was spotlessly clean and tidy, and the bed was super comfy. It was lovely to get out of the city and relax in Hunua to unwind with my dog. We went on one of the nearby trails in the Hunua Ranges which was only a short drive away.

Runner's retreat

My wife and I stayed here at the start of our trip for NZ, to stretch our legs and start enjoying the country. The place is super nice! It's neat, well-equipped, cosy, and clean. It's got an excellent decor and Anna is lovely. There's plenty to do in the area and we got in a visit to the local dam and some trips up into the mountains in two days. Wholeheartedly recommend!

A beautiful and peaceful location with a stunning view

The location is rural which is why it is so absolutely lovely but the last 1 Km of road is narrow and a bit rough. I wouldn't bring a Ferrari ( if I had the option) It is spacious and the bed is very comfortable.
