Wilderness Hut, also known as Ngahoro Cabin (means drop off/out) is a little rustic, completely surrounded by nature cabin. Your bedroom has a wood burner to keep you cosy during those colder days, just take one step outside to your rustic outhouse. The under cover glamping area has picture perfect views through the windows and a very basic kitchenette. While lighting your outside bath enjoy a stunning sunset over Mount Taranaki, keeping in mind you are experiencing all of this from the central plateau.

What a neat wee hut built to look out and take in the breathtaking views Erua has to offer. We had everything we needed and enjoyed walking around the property and listening to the sound of the bush, plus chilling in the bath. Mal has been very creative with the hut and Catherine was lovely and friendly to deal with. This is a great place to unplug from the busy lives we all lead - you won't be disappointed!

What an incredible spot this was! I would recommend a stay here for anyone who wants to escape reality for a moment and get "off the grid". My partner and I had a delightful time taking in the breathtaking views, enjoying the outdoor bath, and roasting marshmallows over the fire. It was lovely meeting Mal and Catherine and having the opportunity to stay somewhere so special. We will definitely be back!

Incredible experience! The place was great and bedroom was very warm. Plenty of firewood supplied! The hosts were amazing, quickly topping up the water tank when it was getting low. The bath has the best views! We had a very relaxing time, so lucky to be the first guests to stay! Highly recommend 😄

About your host, Catherine
Hi there, we're Mal & Catherine and we have been married 30 years with three amazing sons that have now fledged. We also have two beloved grandchildren who we treasure. Neither of us have been scared of change, however this challenge has not been for the faint of heart taking on a 75 acre bare bush block 820 meters above sea level. We can honestly say apart from rearing our family, this is the most exciting 'living the dream' challenge we have had and are experiencing. We're so proud of our slice of paradise and we would love to share our dream and gorgeous property with you!
