Unique

Built in 2018, the huts offer guests a unique kiwi experience. Laid back, peaceful, space, views, they have it all.

Built with sustainability in mind, the huts were built with locally sourced timbers, eco paints and stains. All waste is recycled and composted.

They are a real oasis from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Bedroom with a bed, decorative pillows, a wooden ceiling, and a small bathroom with a sink and mirror.

The Huts are all separate and private from each other and all boast Queen beds with fridge and coffee/tea making facilities.

3 huts have ensuite facilities, 1 of which has its own private outdoor bath, while 3 huts and the glamping tent share two luxury bathrooms.

Shared facilities include Sauna, lounge, kitchen and BBQ/fire pit area.

“Very unique. Highly recommend.”

“Wow!! we had been recommended a stay in one of these boutique huts and they didn’t disappoint. While small, they are comfy with an incredible bed, Netflix, lovely eco-friendly toilets. We were happy to just bunk down in ours for a few days.”

We look forward to making your stay memorable.
