A beautiful, secluded location surrounded by nature and stunning views. The room was lovely, clean and cosy, and had lots of nice little touches to make the stay comfortable. Easy check in process and felt very private. Would definitely come back for another stay

So peaceful , sheep outside the door. View was more beautiful than we expected!

Nothing. Road was a bit steep but we were warned about it so take it slow and it’s fine.

"Nice stay some improvements needed."

6.0

The hut seemed very new and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Great view of the emerald green hills and beautiful bay below. Secluded adventure ! The shower had plenty of hot water and the water pressure was great. The continental breakfast was good with healthy bread. 2 kiwi fruits. Granola. A smoothie drink. Fresh milk coffee and tea. The sheep visits were fun!

We didn’t mind the drive up the hill on gravel road. But once on the site there were tons of cut down trees laying everywhere. Some unattractive giant bulldozer in the yard of the hut , shipping containers and some other un attractive buildings on the site. The outdoor awning they recently attached to the hut is un attractive and takes away from its modern vibe. Also please do not have a vase of plastic flowers. In my opinion plastic is not good decor when we are in such a scenic wilderness place.

"A peaceful escape into nature with stunning views and cozy comfort"

10.0

Amazing views over the bay. very quiet and peaceful place, if you want to break away from everyday stress, this is highly and exceptionally recommended. The cabin is modern, and I feel like I'm home. Breakfast was supplied, which was more than enough for us to expect. And lastly, I want to say thank you to Ken, who is very accommodating and helpful, to us. We would definitely come back.

We don't need anything else because we enjoy staying at the hut.
