Absolutely stunning location and beautiful nature escape, with a wide range of activities and adventures to be had in the area, starting right from your doorstep! As a sauna enthusiast… read more myself, this was one of my favourite things about the place, along with the outdoor shower (powerful and hot enough to shower in a cold rainstorm!) and little touches here and here that Francois and Kate have come up with. Will absolutely try to visit again and highly recommend to anyone especially if looking for an off the grid adventure!

What an amazing space. If you’re looking for a city escape and a peaceful get away then this is your spot! We loved every minute of our trip and didn’t… read more want to live. The sauna is an amazing touch and just took this place to the next level. We spent most the weekend jumping between saunaing and sitting on the balcony reading our books with the sound of birds and the river in the background. Amazing

We stayed two nights for a peaceful birthday escape from the city. To be out of phone coverage, in a cosy cabin with sauna and beautiful views was the perfect… read more escape we wanted. The location is so private, sounds of the birds, river and stars through the sky light in bed. We were lucky enough to arrive to the full moon rising and the following night drank wine from bed watching it rise after sunset. With welcome gifts and beautiful books to read. It really is a hut that could be appreciated winter through to summer. We will be back. Thankyou x

OMG, what an experience! This place is a hidden gem that totally blew us away. Let me start by saying: if you’re looking for privacy, stunning views, and a cozy… read more escape, BOOK THIS NOW. First Night Adventure: Okay, full transparency—my girlfriend got a little spooked when she went outside at night (it’s pitch-black without the lights!). But once we discovered the solar lights, it turned into pure magic! The whole area lit up like a fairy tale, and we ended up laughing about it while grilling on the BBQ and cooking up a storm on the portable stove. The Cabin Itself: The wooden home is gorgeous—rustic yet modern, with everything you need. Waking up to mind-blowing views of the river right in front and mountains wrapping around us was surreal. It felt like we had the entire valley to ourselves. And the privacy? Chef’s kiss👌—no neighbors in sight, so you can truly unwind without a care.

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!

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.

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.
