Full exclusive use Cottage, nestled in the bush clad Coromandel Ranges

We have developed a cosy, private, uniquely artistic cottage for you to enjoy. Created with wood and river stone, tiles and earth. Hundertwasser inspired Artistic tiling in the bathrooms really give this space an amazing feel. We are off grid for our power with solar and wetback hot water. We are away from the city lights - on clear nights the star cloaked sky invites your attention.
The perfect place to elope to or have a unique eco honeymoon. A hens night with your select friends, create a few days away to remember.
Enjoy organic coffee and milk, leaf tea and we supply a scrummy homemade continental breakfast . 4 burner gas cook top with full cooking equipment is supplied PLUS a gas bar b que AND an outside gas oven (pizza)
We are in the middle of everywhere - a cruisy 1.5 hour drive from Auckland Airport (traffic permitting!!), Hamilton, Tauranga and places in between. Get away from the bustle of town without going far.
We love our bush clad Coromandel Range, and burbling streams and rivers creating stunning private swimming adventures. The hidden magic of the Maratoto Valley is a 10 minute drive from the Hauraki Rail Trail at Hikutaia, great adventure mountain biking, or just a cruise. It is the perfect base to explore the Coromandel Peninsula and eastern Waikato (including Matamata and Hobbiton) by car. Half an hour from the well known Karangahake Gorge, 45 minutes to Kauaeranga Valley and the Pinnacles walk. 20-30 minutes to Paeroa or Thames’ service centers and great places to eat
We know the area well and can help plan your itinerary OR just sit back, relax and enjoy being here, for the best rest ever.

Peace and tranquility
This is an amazing property, just far enough away to be an oasis but close enough to everything you need. The breakfast provided is amazing, the tile work in the bathroom and toilet is beautiful, you don't get internet provided but there is coverage if you choose to use your own data - but why bother when this property is such a great opportunity to turn it all off and relax. We loved it.

Perfect Getaway
Right off the bat, I have to say, the owners are the loveliest people. Incredibly welcoming and gentle people. They like to check in and make sure you're stay is going well and always happy to answer any questions. [They also supply homemade sourdough- it's a must have try!]. As for the place itself, absolutely amazing. You're surrounded by nature and get to enjoy its luxuries such as the wildlife noises and being able to stargaze since there is zilch light pollution. The place allows you to slow down and truly relax. It's perfect if you just want to get away and curl up with a good book too. Thank you heaps for having us and we look forward to returning!

Amazing off grid property
This property was amazing! Totally off grid but such a unique experience. The walking tracks all throughout the property were great and well kept. The hosts, Vivienne and Tim, were super helpful and just awesome people all round. Plus a friendly dog was a bonus!

Much needed reunion with nature
If you feel like you’re glued to your phone or computer, give this place a try. Completely off grid all wooden cottage with some unreal views surrounding the property. Couldn’t complain if I was paid to, this place is a perfect weekend getaway for anyone needing a break.

Amazing Stay
We had a great weekend away in this lovely off the beaten track cottage under the Coromandel ranges. It was very peaceful with only the sound of the birds as company. The cottage is amazing with its Hundertwasser inspired tile work and a very special outdoor bath warmed by a fire . We also had a lovely breakfast of homemade bread and fresh eggs which was a nice surprise. Will definitely be looking to return and highly recommend. Thanks Tim & Vivienne

Full of character in the most peaceful surroundings
Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay experiencing off the grid living in this little cottage packed full of character. Was so relaxing sitting in the conservatory in the sun looking out at the hills and enjoying nature. The only downside was that we weren't staying longer. Look forward to staying again in the future and exploring some of the walks in the area.

Absolutely phenomenal property with amazing service and stellar hosts. Best that I ve seen yet.
Tim and Vivienne are stunning, and the house is much better than advertised. Highly recommended as a headquarters for a week of exploring the area, romantic couples retreat, writing retreat, or even a group retreat space. Can t say enough for it
