John's place has all you need for a weekend getaway on the Banks Peninsula. Things we enjoyed:Beautiful location. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful touches in the cabin.Things to do:Walks. Water. Wildlife. Watching time slide by in the valley.
Beautiful setting - felt like being a time and a world away. Fresh eggs & cookies in the kitchen. Dogs had a wonderful time. Shower is delightfully hot. Had never taken a trip through the hills before, highly recommended, and if youâd like staying away from the hustle and bustle then this place is the one. Almost off-grid feeling, but flushing toilet, kitchen hob, fridge provide easy conveniences. It rained a lot while we were there so we were lucky we bought spare outdoor clothes as it was a little difficult to dry things with the limited heating. But wonderful stay - highly recommended, good contact with the host if and when we needed it.
Enjoyed the rustic country charm. Outdoor bath was clean and inviting. Very private and full of birdsong. The cookies for us were very thoughtful and tasty. We loved the old record player and albums. Just superb. Thanks guys. P&M.
Had everything we needed, and more. Home-made biscuits, milk, and eggs on arrival were a lovely touch.
The low ceilings, particularly above the bed were a problem and the bed itself was definitely only a double size.
Loved sitting out on the deck and enjoying the rural calm and the birdsong. Thanks for the getaway :)
Great little stay for our wee family, simple but had all we needed. Plus some extra little touches from the host made this feel like our farm holidays as kids.
Fantastic location with amazing hospitality! It was the perfect weekend getaway from the city. Such a cozy little spot with everything we needed, and the best part was being able to bring our fur baby along. Highly recommend! "
Lovely place to spend the night after some enjoyable walks in Hinewai and around the peninsular area. Cute cabin had everything we needed. Beautiful spot
We loved the property. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful views. Great walks. Didn't miss tv or internet. Such a fun place to visit. Next time we want to go back for a couple of nights so we can explore the area.
We had a beautiful stay at this bach, relaxing in the sunshine, listening to the birds. It was a lovely touch to have tea, coffee, milk, eggs and cookies left for us complimentary. Will definitely be back
