Guest stories
Words from travellers who have stayed at the retreat.
Quiet, beautiful, lots of room, full kitchen. George is a great host!
Andrew - United States
The location is magic and the views of both New Plymouth and Mt Taranaki more than lived up to expectations. A quiet location that demands an exploration of the native bush and the opportunities for walks around Mt Taranaki.
Christopher - Australia
Liked the atmosphere and beauty of the place. Also the space of the room and recreation area. And the view.
Martha - South Africa
Terrific location, beautiful setting with view of Mt. Taranaki and easy access to a walking path in virgin forest, comfortable and very clean accommodation, friendly helpful host.

Perfect location for Reflective Tarn (Mirror lake). Lovely house. We had one room with own bathroom. There is a well equipped kitchen and nice breakfast included.
Tomas - Czech Republic
We had a wonderful stay at this booking. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the fresh eggs from his chickens.
Richard - United States
Self serve breakfast but kitchen facilities available all day. Beautiful home and property. Good location. Owner pretty well allowed free access to property.
Brian - Australia
It's like moving into a warm family villa. It has everything you need, the location is very easy to find, and the house is beautiful and vintage. The surroundings are like a garden, blending seamlessly with nature. I would definitely come again.
Jeff - New Zealand
George made us feel at home from the first moment. The house has all necessary facilities. Breakfast is self-served, with fresh eggs straight from the chickens, and the place is super quiet.
