This is an amazing little cabin in the nature and by the sea. You can see a small part of the ocean from the porch which is absolutely incredible. The outdoor shower was also amazing. I will say there are a few bugs youll need to remove from the inside of the cabin and the toilet area had ants crawling all around inside. It didnt bother us though, it only took a few minutes. Since there is no cell service, they have board games and cards available. Worth it for the 2 nights we stayed.

Wonderful cabin, gorgeous views and relaxing surrounds We loved staying at John and Pene’s cabin. It was well-equipped, perfectly situated and very private. We really appreciated the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the cabin and had a really serene, relaxing time listening to nature and taking in the wonderful views. It really is a gem of a place.John and Pene were conscientious and thoughtful hosts. We would have loved to have stayed longer and hope to return sometime. Ngā mihi nui.

Lovely cabin stay We loved our stay. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The attached undercover kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and the outdoor shower was a fun novelty. The cabin is bounded by native bush with abundant birdlife, and the surrounds are very peaceful. Only a 10 min walk to the beach. John was a helpful and responsive host. We look forward to returning.

Idyllic little retreat We loved our stay here. The cabin is nestled in nature, surrounded by birdsong and has a lovely view of the sea. It's the perfect place to switch off and relax. The outdoor shower was a particular highlight. John and Pene were good hosts - it was nice to have the cabin refreshed halfway through our stay. Strongly recommended.
