About this property
Spacious Studio with Breathtaking Views
Falcons View is nestled in the Ruahine Ranges. Private and elevated there are views of the rolling rural landscapes from every window.
The Studio is off-grid and provides a Queen Bed, Self-contained kitchenette, wood stove, gas cooker, solar lighting and still gets reception for most mobile internet technology. With access to native bush walks, hiking trails, and local wetlands, there is plenty to see while you are here, but take a break; genuinely rest. That's what Falcons View is for.
A significant highlight is the OPTIONAL outside Wood Fired Hot tub that can be requested for $150 hire.
Not suitable for disability access

About the host
Hosted by Orelle McDonald
The McDonald’s moved to Rangiwahia in 2009. Hamish and Orelle chose to home-educate their growing family and as a result, each of the children have been hands-on developing the land, buildings, gardens, animal husbandry, machinery and most anything that pertains to the country living lifestyle. They are not superhuman. The years have not come without challenges. Falcons View was created to take time out from the intensity of those challenges. The family have chosen to share that with others.
Why they chose this property
Falcons View is situated on 70 acres of farmland with regenerated bush at the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. Designed and built in 2019 by the family, it became an avenue to bless others and to financially support their large family and charitable endeavors. Profits are used to sponsor and support health, education and humanitarian aid projects in New Zealand and the South Pacific through ADRA. For more information go to: https://basecamprangi.com and https://adra.org.nz
What makes this property unique
This retreat was named Falcons View due to the frequent NZ Falcon's that live in the surrounding habitats and also for the sprawling vastness that drenches each window.
The optional wood fired Hot Tub makes you feel like time can slow down after all. With the cosy wood stove during the colder months, the simple studio layout and complimentary off-grid power, it still has the comforts of home that will make your stay a place to renew your strength and reach new heights again.
