Fabulous views, so peaceful and loved the river walk. Accommodation was eco- friendly, warm, comfortable with everything you needed. Loved the outdoor shower. Meal hamper was so wonderful – thank you Kate for the selection, very spolit!

Philippa, Christchurch

We were tired from tramping but still wanted to stay in a peaceful, quiet place surrounded by nature, and this place was absolutely perfect. Stunning scenery, all the amenities we needed and then some (outdoor shower! chilly bin! mugs for tea!). The cabin is cozy, beautifully built with attention to detail. And with the skylight, it was like sleeping under the stars, but snug in a bed. Cant recommend this place enough!

Alison, Seattle

We had a great time in this amazing place! Francois and Kate were lovely to communicate with and have created such a relaxing, comfortable and a beautiful space. We loved our time here and even made it down to the river for an icy dip.

Gregor, Christchurch

Great Scot, outstanding, down the steps to Gaea’s landing. Straight 10s, no, this was elevens, atop of the world, it could be mistaken for the heavens. 5 stars? Make it 6, or 7, catered for every whim and thought, graduated Michelin with the food hamper you brought. True, Casanova couldn’t get it this right, magical romanticism all day and night. This can’t be underestimated, an experience of a lifetime, tucked away in paradise, gorgeous hut of lime.

Will, Australia

What a beautifully detailed piece of art. What a gently unraveled peace of heart. This little house made of entirely natural materials breathes! And you slip in like a second skin. It makes you feel in an harmonious place with the microcosm where it is located. So alive this valley! Showering and cooking with birds flying around so closely, singing the songs of everyday changing lights. A place that seems in perfect reflection of the kind and generous host that are waiting for you. Thank you deeply Kate and François for sharing this precious home.
