The majestic Mt Tarawera as a backdrop, 3 Local lakes so close you can practically see the Trout jumping out of the water beckoning you to catch them. Walk or ride up Rainbow mountain or stroll around Lake Okaro, short drive to Waimangu thermal valley, or go for a soak in either of the 2 free hot streams all close by.
Old Brett Road Hut has been beautifully and lovinly restored, with hand milled timber and trinkets we have collected over the years. be transported back to a simplier time, relax and unwind and unplug. Feel the grass between your toes, lie back in the hammock listening to the birdlife in our re-wildling native area, or watch the sunset, enjoy the cosiness of the outdoor fire under the stars..
Head inside and enjoy a deep soak in the clawfoot bath and relax. Fully functioning Kitchen with Gas hobs and small Fridge.
