We found our two night stay in a tipi unique,and a wonderful family experience. The open air kitchen and bathroom set amoungst the bush won’t be found anywhere else. A great spot and a good introduction to enviro principles. The composting toilet was certainly a talking point for the children. Solar showers worked well. The bird life was music to our ears and we sighted many Tui. Kitchen well equiped with plates, cutlery, pots,cups etc and gas cook top along with a wood pizza oven. We intend to return with friends and will spread the word about this gem.
