Float beneath the stars in a cedar hot tub on top of a hill surrounded by acres of virgin native bush & sea with magnificent Ocean beaches & a view out to the Poor Knight Islands. Here the stars seem closer and the rest of the world a million miles away. The hot tub is filled with mineral rich spring water from 100metres below the surface. Space to enjoy and the feeling of being alone in paradise is so uplifting. See how it looked to Captain Cook as you walk through the bush track entrance at your doorstep (this is original native bush not regrowth) . Stand beneath 800 year old Kauri trees there are hundreds of young and old Kauri trees, ancient Puriri (hollow fallen trunks where the Maori buried their dead), Nikau palms & stands of Ponga ferns. Be silent to view & hear wood pigeon their wings thundering along the tree tops, tui, fern birds, kiwi (at night) & moreporks. 3 Kayak available 2 are excellent quality fishing kayaks.
