Great place for peace and quiet

We really enjoyed out stay. It was very peaceful and private.We walked to the beach when we arrived. It is not an easy walk and is very steep in places. It could be a great place to have a picnic or relax next to the river. We wanted to swim and found the water level a bit low for that. Nut if you want to paddle in the water it's great. Wear aquasocks as the beach and riverbed are stony.The location was great. Far enough away that we were out of cellphine range There is wifi if you don't want to be cut off and it is a short drive to civilisation, ie Martinborough. There is a lovely farm store just down the road that is open on the weekends. Fresh produce, home baking and suprisingly good coffee. I bought some olive oil and coffee beans (roasted locally) to bring home. I asked if they had berries and they went and picked some so they were super fresh! I could rave some more but it's best you try it for yourself.I would definitely like to come and stay again.

A beautiful escape from reality

Such a wonderful property. Secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of life this spot was a great way for my fiancé and I to get away. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful scenery, would highly recommend! On a clear night the stars are absolutely unbelievable! I have never seen them so clear in my life, and from right outside the front door! Rachel was lovely, great communication and the space was fantastic for a two person getaway. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space for us to come and escape our busy lives for a long weekend.

Wonder Stay

The property was fantastic. We enjoyed a couple of evenings of quietly sitting on the deck looking out over the valley after spending the days exploring the area. Just make sure it get back in time to enjoy an afternoon nap in the hammock. Can’t wait to come back.

The Cabin was very tidy and everything supplied was of a high standard. Loved all the extra's in the shed. Racheal left us to enjoy the views, peace & quiet. The perfect place to take a cheeseboard and local bottle of wine.

Lovely stay with peaceful surroundings

Lovely little bach surrounded by some beautiful and peaceful scenery. Super clean and lots of nice touches around the place. Plenty of outdoor games to keep you entertained!

Perfect off grid getaway

Lovely 2 night getaway here. Well equipped house with everything you need for 2, including games! Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for us but we still tackled the nearby remutaka railway trail and were able to do plenty of bird and rabbit watching from the batch! Would be perfect location for the Patuna Chasm too! Imagine the stars would be breathtaking on a clear night. Hosts extremely helpful. Would not hesitate to book again :)

Everything you need and more

Our stay was fantastic. The little bach had been done up beautifully and the little touches were all thought out. From the binoculars to look at the night sky, serving platters for nibbles, extra blankets, to books, board games and magazines to keep you entertained on a wet day. The hosts have really gone above and beyond to make this place everything you need for a getaway to Martinborough.
