Hear the tuis, kereru, bellbirds in the bush, and the kaka on their flight to Moehau each morning and evening. At night you will hear moreporks and sometimes kiwi calling in the surrounding bush. Children will enjoy our bunkroom with views through the trees. We've had lots of lovely reviews since opening our home for guests and here are a few: "What a find! We absolutely loved our stay. Amazing views, lovely interior. Felt quite luxurious. Great original art work. Good day walks nearby, and awesome swimming at both Little Bay and Waikawau.

Every question answered and every (reasonable) request catered for.The house is very green which is a big plus but also has great wifi and a smart TV (great for mirroring content on to for teenagers.)The location is great too and - as the nearest shops are a long drive - a "store cupboard" with almost everything you could need and may have forgotten (tea / coffee / herbs / spices / condiments / seasoning etc.)Also great beach(es) nearby and it was a great spot to catch up with friends and welcome 2025 in to our lives.Thanks a lot - we had a great time x ##### Giles I.
