Paradise Found

On a whim, we decided to take a night away. Barely 90 mins away from Akl, and less than an hour from the beach at Raglanwe found an absolute gem & nature retreat in beautiful rural Ngaruawahia. Host Gaylene's attention to detail & delightful gardens made it easy to relax straight away. We would highly recommend & hope to return soon.

Switch off and listen to nature

An absolutely tranquil stay. Nothing to do, but relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. The property is immaculate. The outdoor bath is a luxury underneath the stars with hot water on tap. Swinging in the hammocks and looking up into the forest canopy to watch the fantails and tuis was bliss. Lovely host and Lily the dog got on with ours really well. Very friendly. Highly recommend.

Ngarawahia blissful stay

Our stay was fantastic. A nice private stay with all amenities for a break away. We bought our bikes to ride the Te Awa bike trail, which was a short drive away from the accomodation.
