Ruru is the shared kitchen area - with stove, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, table and young kids toy area. We are pet friendly Our goal was to set up accommodation for those who wanted a relaxed atmosphere. Somewhere people could use as a base while they adventured in the local area and come back to in the evenings to share their stories around a camp fire (fire season permitting) and recharge in the natural surroundings. The peace and quiet of the valley, the native bush on the property, the accessibility to Nelson and what the rest of the Tasman area could offer are all key attributes to the formation of Maitai Whare Iti.
