Rural and Peaceful

Beautifully basic, a step out of a technological world we are constantly emerged in. Lovely place to stay, and wonderful, down to earth hosts.

Rustic Charm with Stunning Views and Exceptional Hospitality

Posted Dec. 29, 2024 on HomeAway
We had an amazing stay at this charming hut near Rotorua! The rustic vibe was perfect, offering a cozy and unique atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved waking up to such a beautiful landscape and sheep :) The hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We slept like a dream in the peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a tranquil and memorable getaway!

Disconnect from the hustle and bustle in 20th century style

Posted Dec. 28, 2024 on HomeAway
Had a wonderful two night stay at this idyllic hut stuck in time. Was great to fully disconnect and appreciate the countryside and surrounding nature. The close proximity to Rotorua also meant that we were never far from the convenience of a supermarket.Scott and Shona were friendly and thoughtful hosts, and were able to answer all questions we had about the area and gave great recommendations.Can't wait come back again and explore the area some more!

Wonderful minibreak

Posted Oct. 31, 2024 on HomeAway
We had a lovely stay at the hut. It’s in a great location to explore the geothermal sites. We loved being away from the city and being so connected to the outdoors. Scott and Shona are friendly welcoming hosts and the hut is really beautifully handcrafted full of stories. I now want a hut in my backyard!.

Old Hut

Posted May 1, 2024 on HomeAway
Scott and Sharon's Old Hut was quirky and charming. They have put in of thought and attention to detail and the result is a fun, unique and comfy place to stay. It is handy to lots of interesting places, both free and touristy. Scott and Sharon were friendly and had lots of great suggestions about where to go and what to see. Highly recommended!

Rustic Retreat

Posted Apr. 2, 2024 on HomeAway
Fun place to stay with 50s styling and relaxed outdoor living. Super cosy bed in the cabin. Friendly, welcoming hosts. Everything you need for an 'off-grid' weekend in the countryside.
