What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Best getaway in the northern Waikato

Peaceful, clean, and everything you could possibly need in an overnighter. We felt like we were the first visitors in a brand-new home. The bedrooms were just like home but better, even the couch bed was comfortable! So lucky we found this place, would come back again, and am recommend it to all my friends and work colleagues to book here.

Terrific Stay

Stayed at this lovely cabin for four nights. Three adults enjoyed all the amenities of home. Place was super clean and everything was like new. Beds were super comfortable and we are picky sleepers. Lovely light with lots of windows. Very rural spot but easy access to Hwy 1. Would stay here again. Highly recommend it to all.

Recommend stay close to Hamptons events

This cabin is above my ocd cleanliness and super sleek !!!! Love love love the lay out and all its amenities, we loved the goats and the sunrise to. The host was very lovely to communicate to and easy and quick at replying , we were a bit uneasy with the cameras Facing into the cabin while you stay we understand tho and get why you’d have to 100percent understand. We got over that being watched every move feeling after awhile A huge fav for our teen was the pool, yes in the middle of winter But does cold therapy which helped a lot also tow spa pool under the stars at night was incredible after a 14 hour day at a event, HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING close to amazing food at Gordonton and a quick drive to Huntly prime spot but my fav was def playing with big pup was a big fav of mine :)

Clean & Modern with a Thoughtful Host

We enjoyed our stay here! It was modern and clean. We appreciated the hot tub. We also loved the gift basket with treats - especially the home grown grapes! What a treat. It was very thoughtful. The washing machine did shake the whole house so I'd advise doing the loads in the day/evening but not at night while trying to sleep. Also, my clothes got locked in the washing machine but youtube showed me how to easily unlock the machine :) Be advised that the closest exit from the main road is blocked. Overall, communication with the host was great. And we appreciated the location (shaved off time from Hamilton to Auckland the next morning)

Sublime Haven

Exceeded the online photos and reviews. Our weekend was made memorable for numerous reasons:1) location to Huntly, Hamilton & Auckland2) the hosts were more than accommodating to our needs3) the weather was hot and having aircon was bliss4) using the pool was a pleasurable bonus5) double glazing windows blocked out the expressway noise 6) the basket of snack foods was appreciated7) a variety of appliances i.e. dishes, cutlery, pots. utensils were great as we cooked meals 8) dishwasher well used8) the beds were very comfortable9) having a washing machine was great but didn't use the drying cycle10) the clothes drying rack was great. Suggest a clothesline would be ideal. 11) the private setting was appreciatedWe would not consider any other accommodation when next in Ohinewai/Huntly

Beautiful Holiday home for a cosy stay

The hosts were very friendly and communicated well! They even set up a cute snack basket for us to enjoy which was really lovely of them. Would definitely recommend staying here, the house itself was modern and had a cosy feel to it. Lovely holiday home 😊
