Didn’t know where to go . Lawns not mowed. Cleaning equipmment left in bedroom. Bathroom and toilet facilities far away from bedroom.

Jun 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic bush hideaway: Karangahake Gorge Exactly what it says in the listing. Not polished or flash but cosy and full of character in a lovely setting, close to walks in the gorge, op shops in Paeroa and the Te Aroha thermal pools. Felt very welcome and nothing like an outdoor bath under the stars! ##### Joanna W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian F.

Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Beautiful area and nice little shack The property was quite nice, I would say a little overpriced for what is was, probably wouldn’t stay there again, but overall the location was very close to walks in karangahake gorge so excellent for that. ##### Ryan C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brighid S. Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quirky A quirky, somewhat Heath Robinson setup, very charming and in fact well equipped, especially the kitchen. We didn't try the al fresco bath! All very colourful and comfortable. You really need a longer stay to grt to know it and enjoy it properly. ##### Brighid S. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024
