The facilities are amazing. The games room was a fabulous bonus that we made full use of. The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable in their glamping pods.

This is absolutely awesome! Sleeping in the dome and getting a panoramic view of the mountains in the morning is out of this world. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and the facilities are amazing. You get your private hot tub, a BBQ area, a wood fired sauna, and more. It's 2 minutes down to Maerewhenua River full of trout, where you can swim in the refreshing water.

Cute little tiny home with everything you need in a beautiful area. Had sheep right next to us and woke to the sounds of birds chirping and sheep chomping on grass. Very peaceful. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and it was very cloudy so didn’t get the star gazing I was hoping for but I imagine it would be amazing if you are lucky enough to have a clear night.

This is a fine place to stay for a night or two if you’re visiting Doubtful Sound. This was my 3rd stay. Friendly, helpful staff from all over the world. Facilities range from tent camping to hook ups and basic cabins with shared ensuite and kitchen or fully equipped cabins with ensuite & kitchenette. Reasonably priced, beautiful location on Lake Manapouri and within walking distance to the Doubtful Sound cruise.

We loved the location of the retreat on the headland above the beach near Collingwood in Golden Bay. Also having our own cabin in the forest and that the accommodation is dog-friendly.

Brilliant location amongst trees. Very private. Close to the beach and surrounding natural scenery, walks, etc. Basic accommodation and self catering was sufficient for a1 night stay. Rustic, like a mix between camping and cabin. Really friendly hosts.

Excellent base for heading into Abel Tasman. Great view of the sea and mountains from our room. Beds were comfy, and shared amenities close to cabin. Kitchens were well stocked with everything you could need and good number of showers and toilets available to share.

Everything was as I expected. Secluded tho close to lake and beach. Comfy and clean living area in the dome. Outside bbq area open to nature with a roof and partial walls - helped keep connection with the outdoors. A large chilly bin to store food. Bring your own ice!

We rented the caravan by mistake. Thought we were booked in the cabin. Hot tub was okay and the deck was nice. Caravan was small and not really comfy.
