A stay that made our trip unforgettable
This place is amazing. Suited to host several families, turned our sports trip into an unforgettable journey to New Zealand. Georges' place allowed us prepare and recover from the race. It's a shelter, allowing you to rechaege your batteries, away from the town. I recommend!!
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024

What makes this property unique

This timber frame house was constructed from macrocarpa timber grown locally during 1993 by a log house builder from Ratahi. The construction method is known as “timber frame” in Canada and is quite rare in New Zealand.
