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!

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.

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.
