"Eco accommodation at it's best."

9.0

I love the eco accommodation and area. I stayed in the house truck last year (which was amazing btw) and wanted to try one of the eco homes. I stayed in the Tiny Greenie eco tiny home. Just fabulous! Modern, well-thought out, amazing view of Wainui beach area. Unfortunately there was a storm while I stayed, but I managed to use the outdoor bath before it really kicked in. It wasn't my first time using a compostable toilet, but my first time using an indoor one, and it's amazing! It was end of autumn, but good heat control in the home. Bed comfortable. Good shower. The kitchen area big, lots of storage, cooking facilities fantastic.

"Excellent"

8.0

After a long day travelling, it was a very nice place to stay and relax. Very comfortable. Bath and view were exceptional. Very quiet. Well done.

Booked for the fact it had 2 beds. When we arrived only 1 bed was made and available to use. Other bed had no linen and there would be an extra charge for linen or a charge for using it without linen. Also wine glasses would have been nice.

5.0

Het uitzicht op de Golden Bay was super mooi. De weka's waren onze tijdelijke huisdieren, zo leuk!

Het verblijf vonden wij niet goed onderhouden en het was ook niet goed schoon gemaakt. Door het hoge onkruid/gras was het uitzicht in het begin slecht. Wij hebben gevraagd om dit te maaien zodat we enigszins uitzicht hadden en dit is ook direct gebeurd. Dan heb je een super mooi uitzicht:-). Het verblijf is eco. Wij hadden ons beter moeten inlezen op het verblijf want wij vonden het niet fijn dat je ook op een eco poepdoos zit. De vibe die er er hing, vonden wij niet fijn.

"A beautiful, comfortable and tranquil place to stay with fantastic views but with slightly challenging eco aspects."

7.0

The view was absolutely beautiful. The property was spacious and generally very comfortable with lovely furnishing. The glass frontage with sliding doors across the entire property was brilliant. The friendly Weka bird patrolling the grounds was great fun. It is a quiet and peaceful place to stay.

The property is at the top of a very steep hill with a long gravel road and hairpin bends which meant we could not go for walks from it without going down in the car. The washing machine and dryer were at the bottom of the hill and were really dirty. The BBQ had burnt on food and grease from previous occupiers. Whilst we are really keen on eco properties the composting toilet located within the property was unpleasant. It had little spiders coming out of it and at night the odd moth flew out. It smelt at times. We felt it should have been in an annex joined to the main building and not part of the building (which would also have avoided the need for all the instructions relating to it eg open a window if using the kitchen extractor hood because otherwise smells would be drawn out from the toilet). We didn’t like the microfibres towels.

Extrem tolle Aussicht. Gute küchenausstattung.

Die Toilette war nichts für uns. Es roch recht muffig und als wir den klodeckel öffneten kamen erstmal 5 spinnen entgegen (nichts für arachnophobiker wie uns). Generell viele Tiere im Haus, wobei man natürlich auch mitten in der "Wildnis" ist und das der Unterkunft nicht angelastet werden kann. Anders sieht es bei dem politischen Statement pro Hamas aus, das in der Unterkunft hinterlegt wurde. Völlig unabhängig von politischen Meinungen, das darf jeder halten wie er es will, ist so etwas in einer Unterkunft (Dienstleistungsbeziehung mit dem Kunden) einfach ein Unding und extrem unprofessionell. Es ist sehr subjektiv betrachtet aber wir haben uns für den doch etwas höheren Preis nicht sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir können aber verstehen, wenn das von vielen anders gesehen wird.

Bath, views, comfy big bed, well thought through and the additional features such as drop off to do walk was great!! Would reccomend.

Hob next to bed access 🔥 no microwave could be beneficial.

"Amazing expérience"

10.0

L'emplacement, la tranquillité le confort malgré un petit espace la vue époustouflante sur la baie , la baignoire à l'extérieur et des bains a l'air libre, la litterie, pas de télé. Si vous voulez une expérience atypique n'hésitez pas à y aller.. un peu surpris au début car nous nous attendions à la maison comme sur le site de reservation il s'agit alors d'un véritable truck aménagé. Adapté pour 2 personnes et suffisant par beau temps. Une tres belle expérience coupée de tout et pour se ressourcer c'est garantie. Bien placé pour certaines randonnées . Immersion dans la nature avec le chant des oiseaux. Vous etes volontairement laissés tranquiles. On a apprécié l'esprit écologique

Les moustiques quand le vent tombé. Malgré les moustiquaires. Pensez à brancher un appareil pour des nuits tranquilles. L'accès aux toilettes sèches dans la nuit a marcher sur de l'herbe humide et des petits cailloux soyez prévoyant.
