If you want to get right away from it all. We offer total peace and quiet - No traffic noise at all - Just the birdsong. Our chalets are really warm and comfortable.
The chalets have a fully equipped kitchen which includes a fridge / freezer, a 2 element hotplate, a microwave, an electric fry-pan and a barbecue. Tea and coffee facilities are provided as are a selection of teas and coffees for your convenience. If you want your stay to be a special occasion or just want to be totally pampered, we also offer lovely 3 course evening meals, served to you in the privacy of your chalet.
We have lovely wetland and native bush (forest) walkways for you to explore. The West Coast beach is only a few minutes drive further down the road and has miles of sandy beach with rock pools to explore. Weather permitting we offer our guests a night time guided tour through our glow worm grotto. There is usually a good display of glow worms, some koura (our little native fresh water crayfish) and some cave wetas.
