About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ngarimu Retreat

A quiet country hideaway with the comforts of home. Stroll through our historic native forest reserve. Have a picnic at the historic corner or simply relax and enjoy a 'cuppa' by the crackling fireplace. A perfect spot to see some of the beautiful landscapes that inspired the early settlers and refresh yourselves at the same time.

Beautifully quiet
Away from the hustle and bustle, very quiet country cottage. Had a pony and a donkey that visited over the fence a couple of times. Gorgeous at night with the moreporks and the "dark sky" area. Comfotable bed, nice and warm, little fireplace and an amazing shower. All-in-all, a very pleasant little place.

This was the perfect situation for us while attending a wedding in the district. It was easy to find and delightfully peaceful.

Quiet solitude
It was raining and cold outside when I got there but there but the fire going when I got inside, how awesome! Loved my time out from the busy world, silence except for the birds and the occasional cow mooing. Perfect! Also, awesome after service when I left some of my stuff behind, really appreciated how lovely they were to deal with

Great spot
A great location. The cabin is clean and tidy and very well set out. Handy to both Taihape and Fielding. The kitchen is well prepared to self cater (utensils/crockert etc.

Cos, quiet, green coccoon
The main reason to come here for us was being in a quiet place and this delivered big time. We were also there at a windy, rainy time and can assure everyone : the place is tight and dry. Good pressure in the kitchen and bathroom, and the hot water is actually hot. Very comfy armchair and bed. There was just enough equipment to cook simple dishes for 2, though if I had known there was no french press I would have brought mine.
