On rare occasions the bathroom may be shared with other guests staying in the second guest room.

SUSTAINABILITY:

• We are trying to cut down on our use of plastic. We encourage you to refill your water bottles here so you don't need to buy more.
• We line our bins with paper, use eco-friendly toilet paper and toiletries + cleaning products from Ecostore.
• All our food waste is either fed to our animals or composted.
• We recycle all plastic, aluminium, tin cans, glass, paper and cardboard products.

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT? For every booking made with us, $10 goes towards a native NZ tree that we plant here on the property for you, to help reestablish the area of forest that was destroyed by a cyclone in 2018. That tree will offset some of your carbon footprint created by travelling here.
