Independent in Eastern Bush

"I cannot sing Kaylene's praises enough. Very kind and thoughtful host, gave us our space but was available for and question we had. Great local knowledge to help us decide on options for day trips around Bluecliffs, Hauroko or Monowai. As for the house, the peaceful rural setting and those beds ... sooo comfortable!! All 5 of us slept like logs. And the heatpump warmed the house up quickly for those of us from the tropics who were struggling with a bit of a sou'wester. In summary, gem of a stay, with a gem of a host in a gem of a place."

"Basic accommodation, but clean and tidy. Showers could be updated/upgraded"

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was super comfy and area quiet. It was the perfect retreat spot before hiking."

"Host showed us great southern hospitality. The shephards hut is a labour of love and the shower is really that good (waterfall and AMAZING water pressure)."

"Perfect location for our needs.We did get some unexpected visitors a couple of hours after our arrival. Our vehicle had gone to the beach but my daughter and I were still at the house so these visitors abruptly left again when they realised that there was someone at the property."
