Our place is a private location for a few guests that are preferably self-contained. We do have water on the land and you can access our Starlink internet at our cabin. Other than that, you'll have cell coverage almost everywhere on the property. You'll love staying here because it has amazing views and scenery as it is close to native forests, rivers, streams and waterfalls. We have several spots on the property available, so you'll have privacy if you want.
As it is located directly at the State Highway 29, it's easily accessible, and we have gravel and dirt roads through the property.
The property is in the midst of nature, yet close to major towns such as Tauranga (20 min), Cambridge (45 min), Hamilton (1 hour). We are also only about 30 min away from Hobbiton (Matamata).
You're welcome to use a composting toilet and warm shower.
