Lisa and Tony are fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We loved the peaceful setting and the lovely horses. It is a perfect place to relax and reset. The bed is really comfy too. We will definitely be visiting again! We are very happy to recommend this special place. ##### Meg P. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thom B. 3 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy From the outside it looks like a bus, but step inside and it opens into a perfectly formed, cosy and intimate tiny home for two. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully set up, it has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay.The sofa and bed are genuinely comfy, and the little touches really stand out — even a dishwasher and a soundbar, which was a lovely surprise.The deck is a highlight: fire up the barbecue or simply sit back and take in the view while listening to the tūī, kingfishers and bellbirds. Peaceful, private, and incredibly relaxing.A unique and memorable stay — we’d happily come back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5133f70-2db0-49b7-89d6-3bc47f1fc8a0-1767403229615.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32ea107a-443b-4e61-a86e-1d32f7f5421c-1767403229624.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba1fc56e-bad4-4974-806f-38aef0f9f292-1767403232110.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Thom B.
