Summary: Loved we could go off grid so close to Christchurch. Well equipped little house - bit low on matches and cleaning cloths. Also pretty obvious that it needed a deep clean - I moved the bedside dresser to find a large collection of mouse poo - and then pretty much find that to be the case under all the furniture - it was even under the mattress. Cleaned up what we could before we left but it definitely took a shine off the weekend. I took photos

Summary: The Shack is a dream retreat for those looking to break free from the chaos of everyday life. This off-the-grid haven offers an unparalleled sense of peace, completely free from mobile coverage and the internet. You're enveloped by nature, and the only 'notifications' you'll get are the sounds of chirping birds. Despite its rustic surroundings, The Shack offers a surprisingly comfortable bed and armchairs. The Shack operates on a minimalist solar panel system, designed to meet essential power needs like basic lighting and USB charging. It's worth noting that you won't find power points here- aligning with the property's off-the-grid ethos. So while it's convenient for minimal electrical use, you'll need to plan ahead if you require more. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate that bushwalks begin right at your doorstep. Cooking options are versatile with a great BBQ setup and an indoor 2-ring gas burner. The wood-fired stove is also available for cooking. While the stove provides enough warmth in late October, it may not be sufficient for the colder winter months. The setting is quite favourable for star photography. Book lovers, however, can prepare to turn pages until dawn in this serene setting. If you're seeking a rejuvenating escape, look no further than The Shack. Pack wisely and get ready for an experience that will restore your peace and offer memorable moments.
