Ok, so navigating the freeway to get there was a bit of a challenge to begin with - but once we got the hang of it it was fine. This was a gem of place for our family, with a side array of kitchen utensils, a great oven, a nice warm fire and wood to forage - we were very happy and comfortable. It was a lovely base to explore Wellington from, what a lovely view coming down the hill! We'll be back.

We live staying in places off the beaten track, and this was excactly that. Nice and quiet. Wonderful and warm. Everything we needed.

A great rustic holiday home for a family of five, as described. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the chickens and their adventures in the gully, making it the perfect bush getaway. A short scenic drive to Wellington. Michal's assistance and excellent communication made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you

I appreciate the owners prompt response. Instructions are provided. He’s a great host. Thank you

Awesome little place. Quirky but comfortable. Peaceful for the most part. We didn't realise that people park outside the bach to do the pine forest walk there and play with their kids on the lawn outside the bach. So that was a little shock when we were enjoying breakfast in bed together on our anniversary with the curtains open to enjoy the scenery 😳 lol. The owners said people will be in the forest on the friday morning, but we weren't aware that meant outside the bach haha. I was SO looking forward to the fire as it was freezing and we dont have one at home, but sadly there was no timber or means to light the fire. We brought some timber then realised there were birds nesting in there so never lit it in the end. Heatpump worked to keep us warm though. It is old but once it winds up it heats the place up after an hour or so hehe. Absolutely loved our time here and it had what we needed...a comfy bed...a COFFEE MACHINE...a nice big table to play games at, and really helpful and accommodating owners. The shower wasn't the best, but it was amazing for what you pay for this little place. Overall...we will be back. We love rustic and quirky, and it was in a beautiful spot! Thanks Michal. We can't wait to return and relax.

Was a great quiet rural place to stay. Good communication with the owner.

Batch was lovely we really appreciated everything being organized so we could get in easier

Awesome location, great walks nearby and kids loved the forest next door. Nice and warm.

Really enjoyed staying here, was perfect for me working nights , was nice and quiet to sleep during the day.

So grateful for my stay here!

Such a lovely location for this rustic, yet simplistic bach. Well equipped, warm and well maintained little bach perfect for a family break. Loved every minute of our stay and would stay there again.

Rustic accommodation which worked OK. Was disappointing to turn up and the hot water had not been turned on and the property was damp and musty. The de-humidifier did work to remove the musty smell in time

Very quiet and peaceful stay. Really enjoyed the bonfire and chiminea with a glass of wine.

Lovely remote quiet location but close enough to the city if you wanted to explore wellington

Property suited its purpose as I wanted a house with an oven so I could cook for my family. It's quite a drive from the city and next time I would choose somewhere closer. Great having a heat pump as it was very cold. The shower pressure could've been better and took awhile to heat up. The nozzle kept falling down which was a nuisance.

Warm and comfortable with lovely hosts that were there to help make your stay pleasant.

The bach was a perfect compliment to a city trip with small kids!

This was the most amazing forest-bach stay that we have ever had. Peaceful, beautiful, restful and well-equipped. Thank you VERY much for sharing your lovely home with us. We will most definitely "be back". :-)

Perfect location for what we have to do in Wellington. Bach was as described, well equipped, quiet and restful.

Ideal for small families and those seeking some tranquillity in the city. Very reasonably priced and perfectly comfortable. A pity we couldn't stay longer and explore further. No complaints. Thank you!

Awsome place out the way from all the busy life definitely will go back

We had a great time in this bach, Michal and Jana were excellent hosts. There was cooking utensils and cutterly available so it saved us time and money. Would stay here again

Pretty much exactly what we expected. Would have been nice to have known how to get in earlier. Only downside to this property is how loud the door is to the bedroom

Loved the forest setting & tranquil location. Unfortunately because of location, property does feel damp. Great to be so close to Wellington CBD. Property could have done with more cleaning in some areas.

We were very pleased - this rustic cottage was warm, and had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen and even a dish washer.

This was a great place to stay for our recent trip to Wellington. Was great being away from the traffic and noise and in the bush but yet so close to all we needed. The only suggestion we would have is replacing some lightbulbs with brighter/LED bulbs. Other than that was a perfect stay and would definitely stay again on future trips visiting friends. Thanks so much.

We had a great stay at this Bach. My children had a great time playing in the pine forrest and walking around the neighborhood looking at farm animals. The Bach is warm with a heat pump. We felt warm and comfortable. If there is anything to improve it would have been great the lights are brighter. We felt that it was a bit dim. Most of the pots have no lids.

Beds were made up and entry was straight forward. Very detailed instructions made it easy to get there. Petone only a few minutes away with Pak & Save where we could get toilet paper (advise you to bring with you). Handy things like iron and washing machine which we used.

Was a perfect batch for myself and friends just wish there was a more comfortable pull out couch however was overall great place

Would stay there again

Easy booking online and communication via messaging was prompt and easily understood. I will definately bring my young daughter back here and recommend this place to people I know. Well done.

This place was warm & we all felt really comfortable here.It was the perfect oasis to escape to after being in the city even though it's only a 15 minute drive from central Wellington. Lots of privacy.The three off us agreed we would stay here again.Thanks Michal.
