Great place to stay and come back to after a long and tough hike Mt Taranaki for the 6 of us. Good location to access the mountain for tramping and very comfortable to come back too. Easy to find with clear instructions and communications from the host. Thanks again for the wonderful stay!

The cabins are quiet with beautiful views. Live close to animals. If there is the power supply for recharging electronic devices, it would be perfect, but it is still an excellent place for holidays.
