What a wonderful place to spend our honeymoon! We wanted peace and tranquillity and we certainly got it. The setting is lovely, and the cabin very nicely laid out, furnished, and well-equipped. The bath is fantastic! The location is great, being private and rural but close enough to New Plymouth and Taranaki's other attractions to enjoy all that is on offer. We'd love to come back one day!
