Nothing to do, but relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. The property is immaculate. The outdoor bath is a luxury underneath the stars with hot water on tap. Swinging in the hammocks and looking up into the forest canopy to watch the fantails and tuis was bliss. Lovely host and Lily the dog got on with ours really well. Very friendly. Highly recommend. ##### Debbie S. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte W.

Barely 90 mins away from Akl, and less than an hour from the beach at Raglanwe found an absolute gem & nature retreat in beautiful rural Ngaruawahia. Host Gaylene's attention to detail & delightful gardens made it easy to relax straight away. We would highly recommend & hope to return soon. ##### Charlotte W. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alex Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Lovely surroundings, in a lovely area and super quiet. Just an incredible shame that the outdoor bath was not functioning as that was the main draw card for our stay and would have looked elsewhere if we knew it was not working. As it was listed on the title of the property it was really dissapointing that it didnt work and would unfortunately not stay again because of this. A few other things such as the smoke alarm beeping constantly was a shame also. Unfortunately without the working bath it wasnt worth the price for us. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sleep Inn & Suites Quebec City East](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Sleep-Inn-Suites-Quebec-City-East.h1604178.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Kincardine](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Kincardine.h11918120.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Curaçao](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6143269-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Cabo-San-Lucas-All-Inclusive.h1143264.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Kensington Olympia](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Point-A-Kensington-Olympia.h37631981.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Seattle/Everett](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-SeattleEverett.h8347025.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Downtown at CF Toronto Eaton Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Marriott-Downtown-At-CF-Toronto-Eaton-Centre.h26155.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Tivoli Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Tivoli-Gardens-Hotels.0-l507652-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Secrets-Royal-Beach-Punta-Cana-Adults-Only.h3206683.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Rhodes (RHO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rho/toronto-to-rhodes) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yxx/moncton-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/las/vancouver-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Alberta (YJP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yjp/abbotsford-to-jasper) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yhm/montreal-to-hamilton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Simpson Bay (SXM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sxm/toronto-to-philipsburg) > > [Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/las/lax/las-vegas-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Leamington](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/10224/flights-from-leamington) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yow/edmonton-to-ottawa) ### Activities > [Things to do in Downtown Squamish](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Downtown-Squamish.d6304398.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/18/Belize) > > [Blue Mountain Village Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Mountain-Village.d553248621532864943.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Oak Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Oak-Bay.dx553248635974562205)
