Absolutely loved our stay here. If you want to get out of the busy city to relax, this is the place you need to be. The batch is beautiful, exactly what you see in the images. I enjoyed every moment out on the deck having my morning coffee. Looking out to the paddocks and big open sky, I could hear a stream or river nearby. Just what my soul needed to start 2023 off right.
Kai Iwi Lakes is a 10min drive away, the lake has soft white sand with clear blue water. There is a small tavern down the road, good take out if you don't want to drive all the way back to Dargaville.
One minor downside, there is no aircon so night time was really hot. We couldn't open the doors to let some breeze in cause the bugs would fly in. (There is a floor fan, maybe some bug screens for the windows could help to keep the bugs out while a window can be opened?)
Other then that, we 100% recommend this place and have plans to return next summer :)
