IsaJadinNew ZealandA little cosy gem by the river, perfect for relaxing or exploring the area.
Lovely place for a quiet stay by the river, while still very close to Takaka town centre. It felt super cosy and private. I loved the bathroom with its view of the river and trees, as well as all the little personal…
TrisiaNew ZealandFar exceeded expectations. Sweet location nestled in trees next to a stream. The window in the shower was special. Comfortable and restful.

Very comfortable, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
Kristen TuckerNew ZealandEverything was fantastic. Playful Weka, Crystal clear stream, stunning bathroom and shower. Having the bathroom outside was worrying when we arrived, but we loved it...even at 2am in June!
