Summary: The cabin is quite well stocked, clean and the beds are really comfortable. Our only issues as trying to find the place and would encourage everyone to print off Donna’s detailed instructions before you travel as the GPS and internet are spotty to say the least. Also, the place could be more clearly marked and the road up to the property is very narrow and challenging. We also had to kill a few moths and spiders which wasn’t pleasant. If you need a place to get aways from the city, then this is it!!

Summary: We were staying over two nights to attend a family in Piha, and travelling with my 81 year old Mum, who has mobility issues. This was the perfect home for her and the extended family was able to pop in before the ceremony to say hello. Plenty of lovely deck space to spread out on without getting under each other's feet.

Summary: Me and my partner are traveling the area and chose this property for a two night stay. Even though we were late arriving, the host met us and showed us around. Everything that was needed was available. The was tea and coffee and many pantry items. Everything was nice and clean. The bedding was good and the garden was beautiful. It worked very well for a two day stop on a driving trip.
