It was clean, warm, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great communication from hosts. We would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Nothing - it was great!

We loved the privacy, and a bonus having a spa, and sauna ( not used tho). So peaceful, and close enough to the town for supplies

The ceiling upstairs as we kept bumping our head

"It was ok, wouldn't stay there again."

5.0

I liked the sauna and the spa facilities and the fact that you get the whole hut to yourself.

The shower pressure was very poor, hard to wash your hair and the temperature was unstable. There was no microwave or dining table inside, you expect this when you get a whole house. You only got the one set of towels regardless of how many nights your staying, there should be extras available when using the sauna/spa. You also didn't get refills on tea/coffee like you do in a hotel which was dissapointing. There was no contain with the owners, only the self check in, and I tried messaging through bookings about the laundry service but never got a response. There also wasn't curtains on the back door, so anyone could walk past and see in, which didn't feel very private.

Kahere Retreat was a wonderful stay for us. Very peaceful and tranquil. The owners were very accommodating and quick to reply to any questions. A short 5 minute drive into Franz Josef township. Would happily recommend to friends and family and stay here again in the future.
