This is an unusual quirky place, not the most practical but it has great views and is in a great location. The wood fired hot tub takes a good two hours to fill and heat, but is great fun if you get the weather and you enjoy using a wood burner.

“Beautiful location”
Location was fantastic. Easy walk into Hamner and up Conical Hill. The bed was very comfortable but was quite high off the ground - perhaps could do with a step to assist. Shower was great. Had a microwave and access to a hot plate. The outside was great for sitting in and looking at the view.

“Prefect relaxing spot under the stars, with a true kiwi experience of a bbq and enjoying nature”
Attention to small detail made it feel super special. Being able to sit outside and enjoy the stars at night in the hot tub was incredible

“Funky couples retreat”
Great weekend retreat- funky decor, big comfortable bed. Outdoor bath was a lovely treat and the fireplace inside the tiny home would be fabulous in the winter. We loved our own night sky experiment from the bath!
