The main property is located at the foot of the valley that comes down the north side of Mangapiko Hill. It consists of a spacious and stylishly appointed 1 bedroom cottage with open plan kitchen and living area that opens out onto 2 decks to allow you to follow the sun if you want.
Solar panels provide the power for the lighting and ipod compatible sound system. The property also has a separate sleepout for additional guests. The Maximum number of guests is 4.
The cottage enjoys a very sheltered location and is at the entrance way to its own private bush track that winds up the lush subtropical valley filled with mature nikau palms and huge punga ferns. The valley is left behind after a few hundred metres and you traverse the hill side to connect with the ridge line up to the summit hut which offers a hilltop room with a spectacular view. Sunbathe on the deck or take in incredible sunsets and gaze at the stars at night if you want a unique experience.
The dawn chorus is worth waking early for.
The main property has a gas cooker & fridge freezer in the fully equipped kitchen (no electrical appliances) and also gas hot water.
There is no washing machine but the bathroom does have a separate sink for handwashing. There is no telephone but laptop and cell phone chargers are provided from the 12 volt solar system.
Take time to get back to nature and leave a few of life's 'luxuries' behind.
