A lovely, relaxing place to stay. Cosy decor and peaceful views out to the trees and waterfall. Close to local attractions yet far enough away to be restful. A retro vibe within a lovely setting.

The sound and sight of the waterfall provide a relaxing backdrop to this comfortable, well appointed bach. It's secluded but within easy reach of town and tourist facilities. We loved our short stay.

What a lovely and quiet hidden gem. We stayed for an evening and it was a perfect getaway. Being able to fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall was amazing. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. Would definitely book again.

My stay was brief, but it was the perfect spot to disconnect and recharge. Communication was very clear, and reaponses quick despite me asking a question quite late one night. I would love to come back sometime, thankyou again!

As you step through the unassuming white door, you arrive in a spacious studio hideaway with a view across a green gully into the tops of a forest of large Totara trees. The room is furnished in a relaxed old-world style, with olive-green walls, tall wooden bifold windows, an ensuite bathroom and a private terrace overlooking the waterfall below. This is how I could imagine paradise to be.We had a wonderfully relaxing time and are so grateful to you for having us to stay, I'm sure we will be back.
