Beautiful stay here in NZ. Stu was the most welcoming host and had really thought of everything, we enjoyed a warm bath under the stars and a delicious homemade pizza. Would come back in a heartbeat.

A quiet private place to stay with beautiful mountain views and a brilliant
(ingenious) outdoor bath.
Stu was a welcoming host, and it was impressive to see everything he built himself from scratch.

A truly wonderful, unique stay in a stunning part of the world. Stu and Rachelle were friendly and interesting hosts who have created a great back country experience complete with outdoor bath under the stars and delicious woodfired pizza! Thank you so much, we hope to visit again, highly recommend :)

Absolutely perfect stay. Stu made us feel so welcome. The pizza was delicious and the bath under the stars was so special

Stunning views, very friendly hosts, interesting biodynamic farm, shelter for eating, bath and pizza were great, but it is windswept with little shelter.
