Summary: Beautiful place, loved the outside bath. Early June and it was so tranquil under the stars sitting in a hot bath. Great seeing all the little rabbits.
Sharyn Jun 4, 2025 01:02:48 PM
Summary: Unit was small but adequate, a bit pricey for what we got. Bread not replaced each day not spreads, TV does not work, internet unreliable. Could do with toilet paper holder, towels should have been replaced every couple of days or at least give us a area to replace ourselves we stayed 6, rubbish needed to be emptied or give us liners to remove ourselves each day.

Summary: What a wonderful property! We rented the one bedroom “hut” with a private bath. The little hut was adorable, very clean and nicely outfitted. The grounds were amazing, with a well stocked shared kitchen, cute little living area, washing machine and open air drying area and lots of rabbits too! Fellow residents were a wonderful bunch and we enjoyed meeting everyone. You can also rent ebikes on site and they gave us an amazing discount on really high quality bikes. There is a trail system connected to the property. A wonderful beach at Rabbit island is a twenty minute ride or a 10 minute drive away. This place would also be an incredible site for a wedding or a corporate retreat. (My understanding is that the main house is rentable too and there are big tents already set up on the property.) We are already plotting a return to our hut!

Summary: Awesome stay. So peaceful. Easy to find off the Route 6 to Motueka from Richmond so perfect if you are driving North West to Nelson and then onto Picton. Rabbit Island beach is at the end of the road.

Matthew Nov 25, 2024 02:11:26 AM
Summary: Quiet and nice place to stay. We had an issue with a window screen in our place that let 100s of gnats in which was disgusting to deal with. Otherwise the place was quiet and scenic. Just a little more rustic than we had wanted.

Adam Feb 21, 2024 01:28:50 AM
Summary: This is a gorgeous place - stunningly beautiful location, and the huts are designed, built and furbished to an extremely high standard. The sauna with a view, and the outdoor bath (for nighttime stargazing, in our case) were both very special experiences. The shared kitchen.is generously equipped. The little reading caravan is fabulous. We love the whole vibe of this place, and will return if we can.
