Off-the-Grid Bliss: Finding Serenity at The Shack
The Shack is a dream retreat for those looking to break free from the chaos of everyday life. This off-the-grid haven offers an unparalleled sense of peace, completely free from mobile coverage and the internet. You're enveloped by nature, and the only 'notifications' you'll get are the sounds of chirping birds. Despite its rustic surroundings, The Shack offers a surprisingly comfortable bed and armchairs. The Shack operates on a minimalist solar panel system, designed to meet essential power needs like basic lighting and USB charging. It's worth noting that you won't find power points here- aligning with the property's off-the-grid ethos. So while it's convenient for minimal electrical use, you'll need to plan ahead if you require more. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate that bushwalks begin right at your doorstep. Cooking options are versatile with a great BBQ setup and an indoor 2-ring gas burner. The wood-fired stove is also available for cooking. While the stove provides enough warmth in late October, it may not be sufficient for the colder winter months. The setting is quite favourable for star photography. Book lovers, however, can prepare to turn pages until dawn in this serene setting. If you're seeking a rejuvenating escape, look no further than The Shack. Pack wisely and get ready for an experience that will restore your peace and offer memorable moments.

Tranquil and private retreat
I and my group of friends loved staying in this private and peaceful place in the country. We were able to travel easily to nearby Rangiora and Ashley Gorge, but spent most of the time sitting outside in the sunshine and relaxing. Having a fenced area around the house was great as it meant the dogs were able to run freely. Being off grid was good for us even though it took a little getting used to - internet break is good for all of us! Good descriptions and instructions. We had a bit of a hard time finding the water hole but that might have been us! Thank you for the experience, as we all enjoyed it very much.
