Really friendly host (Ray) who gave me tips on what to see Cozy bedroom with a really large and comfortable bed Separate fully equipped kitchen + bathroom that are both clean and tidy Heater available if you're cold especially at night Free parking for your car Good location to see the main attractions (in my case, Cathedral Caves and McLean Falls)

Peaceful, private and comfortable accommodation with parking in a stunning rural location. It has everything provided in a small self contained kitchen and separate bathroom. The WiFi here is great, no issues at all and a welcome break from technology because phone signal is weaker as it is in a rural location. I don’t understand why other guests have rated poorly for wifi - this is misleading and one cannot expect excellent phone reception when visiting remote areas. Enjoy the peace and take a break from your phone. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Lovely garden setting, off the beaten track. Ideal for getting away from the usual tourist spots. Great spot to BBQ and eat :al fresco".

No internet connection at all, and walked around everywhere outside to see if there was a connection. Also need a powerboard outlet near the bed as the socket is behind the bed or on the other side of the room.

Beautiful little cabin with kitchenette and bathroom areas across the porch. Very clean and comfortable. Need to be well prepared as no food/grocery stores nearby, so need to take food to prepare yourself. BBQ there but I didn’t use. Also it’s about 10kms roughly on a gravel road. I lost internet access about 15kms away from the location which was extremely annoying. It would be great if these details were made know prior to going there. Apart from that it was a beautiful place surrounded by a lovely garden. Very comfortable bed.

It was very cozy. Probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! I also forgot to bring honey for my tea and the host graciously gave me some!

We had a lovely stay in the cabin in Tahakopa, the space was comfortable, peaceful and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Our host Ray, kindly let us drop our luggage off early so we could spend the whole day exploring the gorgeous sites around Tahakopa. There are some flies near the cabin as it is beside farmland, however we were able to leave our door and windows open with the curtains shut in the evening while relaxing on the deck as well as the comfy couch in the cabin and no flies came in! We shut all windows before sleeping and the cabin stayed at an ideal temperature and with such a comfy bed we had a very good night's sleep. We were a bit confused by a previous negative review as the photos completely match the set up of the space and there is everything you need as a solo traveller or couple for a relaxing stay. We highly recommend this place!

the bedroom had a door to an open back verandah, as did the room with the fridge as did the kitchen with the bathroom… rather inconvenient when the owners kitchen opened onto this outdoor area … difficult to go out in the cold at night to use the bathroom.. also hard to find off the beaten track, 9 kms of gravel road

beautiful garden, comfy bed, very pleasant staff

The facts: This is a room in someone’s house. It has a private entrance because it has it’s own door to the backyard. The private entrance door does not lock from the outside. The bathroom is located as a separate room in the property. You must cross the outside patio to enter a kitchenette. Inside the kitchenette is a bathroom. No doors can be locked from the outside so we didn’t feel comfortable leaving any of our things anywhere as we had to move outdoors to separate rooms of the house. The kitchenette had watered down hand soap. The bathroom does not have a sink that works so you have to step into the kitchenette to brush your teeth, wash hands, face etc. The toilet does not flush properly. The bed had dead bugs on it and other people’s hair— one strand of hair I get— but this was all over, especially on the pillows. No curtain in the bedroom for a window facing the road. It’s fairly isolated but anyone can see you in your room and the sun comes in pretty strong.

They kindly accommodated our late check in

Weak wifi. Going to bathroom required going outside - not the best option

Nice bedroom with comfortable bed

Kitchen facilities a bit cramped.

I spent 5 days here. Quite country cabin in a beautiful garden setting. Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The hosts Ray and Tanya were delightful. Spend some time with them and you will end up being part of the family.

Didn't expect the bedroom &bathroom to be in separate buildings. The WiFi connection was intermittent.

Location was good

Stayed in January 2023

Kitchenette/kitchenware facilities minimal. Microwave absent, as promised. Very cramped/untidy. Bathroom very cramped, shower unsafe with SS floor and no grab-handles, vanity unit and handbasin absent, toilet within 1M of kitchen sink thru a shonky ill-fitting door, and inadequate water supply to cistern. Had to use kitchen sink as handbasin. Poor hygiene in kitchen/bathroom/bedroom, all cramped and untidy. Queen bed in small room with inadequate room to easily access. Rodent droppings evident in bedroom. Owner absent upon arrival, despite arriving after official check-in time.

Cabin was not a cabin on it`s own,, just part of an existing dwelling. Owner very intrusive. Location was acceptable.
