A Little Note About Nature 🌿 Bayview Sanctuary is tucked right into the heart of the bush, so you’ll wake to birdsong and might spot some local wildlife dropping by to say hello. With the big doors open, the outdoors can occasionally wander in too — a curious bug or two, or a tiny bush visitor making a surprise appearance. It’s all part of the authentic Kiwi bush experience! If you’d rather keep your guests on the human-only list, simply slide the screens or doors closed and enjoy the serenity. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
