Cabin in the Woods

Sweet little cabin in the woods that we promise is definitely not the start of a B-grade horror flick (unless you're not great with the odd bug and some low-fi living) A bit of a glamping experience - we use solar lights and a camp stove, but there is some pretty great luxury features. Theres now a wee outdoor patio area, extra comfy couches and the valleys finest loft-based chillzone that takes advantage of the awesome views of the surrounding hills.

The Stolen Oak

Private rural setting with your nearest neighbour being your hosts 70 meters away. Stunning views of the Coromandel foothills and ranges from the awesome covered verandah. Cottage looks out over pasture and native wetlands. So you can always see some wildlife...and hear the moreporks at night.
