Dec 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cabin was clean and fitted the environment and atmosphere it was placed in amongst nature. We take a lot of things for granted but never understand or contemplate it till it’s gone. Te Paki was well worth the experience to recharge one’s mind, body and soul especially for work. Definitely worth getting away to recharge and reset from the city life and work ##### Faausu H. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025
