A wander along the road and down to the river I encountered a chicken eating grapes, a clutch of Californian Quail, saw numerous native birds and passed the cluster of bee hives. For relaxation in a beautiful setting with honest and welcoming hosts this is the spot. ##### Sharon E.

The accommodation was fabulous. The canin/unit was most well presented. The beds very comfortable. We were nestled in a bush clad sheltered Valley and were totally unaware of the storm that blew through that night! I slept soundly for 12 hours ! There was a nice swimming hole and stream and kayaks could be used. We were very surprised how much water was in the stream Sunday morning. I would certainly stay there again and recommend it highly Archival ### 6/10 Okay 13 Aug 2016 #### Very pleasant and peaceful. Very pleasant and peaceful. The lodge was spacious allowing the three teenagers to be well separated from the adults. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 1 Nov 2013 #### About 25 mins drive up north from Thames. About 25 mins drive up north from Thames. Into the Te Mata valley, down a 4WD track, you are totally away from civilisation. Run by a nice family. No real neighbours. Peacefull location. Nice lodge with space for living, dining. not much food options around, so get stocked and they have cooking facility and bbq on sit. River flows next to property. They have kayaks to use. No cell coverage and wifi signal limited. So if you want to relax and not get disturbed, get lost to this place. Good walkin ---
