This is a gorgeous place - stunningly beautiful location, and the huts are designed, built and furbished to an extremely high standard. The sauna with a view, and the outdoor bath (for nighttime stargazing, in our case) were both very special experiences. The shared kitchen.is generously equipped. The little reading caravan is fabulous. We love the whole vibe of this place, and will return if we can.
Beautiful little cabin in a quiet and wonderfully maintained bit of land. Amazing dark sky view of the Milky Way. A perfect and relaxing stop. We wish we had spent more time there and if we ever make it back to NewZealand we will make a sure we stop over again.
A small cabin in a big valley surrounded by vineyards. The setup was lovely and we had a great night sleep. You did have to walk to the shared bathrooms which wasn't convenient, but if you want a regular hotel experience then go stay in a regular hotel. The surrounding area was very peaceful, and there were some nice walks and wineries nearby. We found some dead ants in our cabin, but once we cleared those out, we had no other issues
I was a bit anxious about the shared facilities when booking - but they are really nice. Went on the river walk and had a great swim. Yoga before breakfast in the sun. Choice.
Peaceful, private and out of the way. A lovely place to relax and recharge.
Bring your own food and cook in the communal kitchen or lovely restaurants 10 minute drive away.
Will definately book a return stay here.
Beautiful peaceful setting, comfortable huts. Great amenities with shared kitchen, outdoor bath, and sauna. Had no interaction with hosts during my actual stay but everything was explained in compendium in room. Only issue I experienced was booking it specifically because it was pet friendly only to be told my dog was too big. Had to rework my trip plans, but still a very nice stay and I would certainly stay again.
Where do I start - these huts are so delightful. There are six - three with ensuite and three that use two shared bathrooms. However, the shared bathrooms are luxury and are in there own self contained huts as well - so not your usual "shared bathroom" experience. There is also a private outdoor bath - where you can relax, stare at the stars - plenty of hot water. The property also has a well equipped kitchen/dining area, outdoor BBQ/fire, lounge area. I loved my stay here - wish it was longer than just one night - there are beautiful little touches all around.
Rabbit island huts were amazing !!! Unique and simply beautiful.
The rooms were lovely and kitchen and bathrooms were excellent anything we needed was there !! And the out door bath was lovely.... wonderful hosts who made us feel considered and cared for ... would absolutely stay again !!
A bit out of the way, from Nelson, but very well worth it! Quiet, relaxed, unique; your very own cabin with high end features and bathroom. And did I say, away from it all?
Thank you so much for our stay.
Everything felt so homely and comfortable.
We love the fact it was pet friendly as we bought our little chihuahua along with us aswell and she loved it!
The honesty box shop is such a great idea !
We will definitely be back and would recomend to everyone.
Unique Property, very enjoyable in the peace and all the wee extras that have been thought of! Relaxed, homely yet with the extra touches! Have been to stay last year, so came back...and enjoyed some vineyards not far away as well! Thankyou!
