Very private secluded spot. Beautiful views. Appreciate the low impact eco friendly style.

“Returning to my peaceful escape!”

Everything, the walks, nature, privacy, off the grid, facilities, comfort. It’s a sweet stop that I keep returning to and will continue to do so. I have stayed here a few times now as it is my own peaceful escape. It’s honestly amazing.

“Unique and memorable”

Lovely stay in a beautiful scenic location. So lovely waking up to native birds singing. The outdoor bath is wonderful. There's a short walk to the waterfall and enchanted forest nearby. The Kanuka hut was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you 😊

Communication with the hosts was friendly and fast, the bird song was incredible. The waterfall at the end of the walk was beautiful On a clear day the veiws would have amazing

It's a wonderful setting - we loved the peace and the dawn chorus

“We will love to visit again!”

Location, location. Views. Amenities, attention to detail by host. Beautiful walks. Peaceful. Bird life.

“A small place in paradise”

The location and the view were magnificent. The walk to the waterfall was amazing.

“Unique and peaceful!!”

We are repeat guests and this is because it’s a beautiful cabin, with exceptional facilities, views, walks, the nature, the animals, off the grid privacy and hosts. It’s a great escape I cannot express enough how lovely it is here. Our favourite is the walk down to the waterfall on the private land, it blew us away. The outside bath is a beautiful edition. Just wow!

Being away from everyone

Absolutely beautiful setting. The birdsong and views were stunning. Ken was very helpful.

“Surreal tranquility!”

All the little extras you keep finding along the way while you explore this place, you definitely get the feels for being off the grid but in a safe environment with all the amenities and all the helpful formation provided by the amazing hosts. This was an unbelievable and recharging getaway! A regular go to for me!

“A hidden gem close to town”

What a hidden gem! Everything has been thought of for the guests by the hosts. Beautifully clean, lovely views and waking up to the birds singing. Will certainly stay here again.

“We’ll be back!”

Beautiful situation and totally environmentally friendly set up. Great breakfast. Comfortable bed and a well stocked kitchen. Gloriously away from the hustle and bustle.

“Away from it all in a beautiful location, surrounded by nature. The owners were lovely, couldn’t be more helpful.”

Beautiful location

“Peace and quiet in the relatively wilderness above Akaroa”

It was marvellously remote as expected and wonderfully peaceful, but very comfortable and cosy hidden up in the mountains

“Enjoyed the relaxing break- didn’t want to leave”

Views, location and the friendliness of the family. The hut was very comfortable, the continental breakfast was delicious. All the thought going into designing the hut and making the guests feel welcome were appreciated
