Awesome place to stay

We had a great stay at Dan and Kaths the accomodation was top knotch and comfortable a real change from Boring motel rooms. The batch has a unique feel to it having no power and a charming atmosphere with a great covered outside area to just relax and enjoy the views of surrounding Harihari we look forward to staying here again in the future

Fantastic place!

What a great place to stay! Kath and Dan have created a beautiful and novel experience in lovely Hari Hari. The stove to heat the water is a special treat and the thoughtful design and artistic approach to the lodge is unique and beautiful. Great use of up cycled materials and local wood and stone. Loved this place! Thanks again Dan and Kate!

West Coast NZ stay.

Absolutely amazing!This was a complete surprise for me, as my husband had booked our stay.We loved all the love that has gone into the making of this place of wood, especially the wood burning stove. Comfortable and cosy right the way through.

Awesome stay in a quaint and quirky offgrid cottage which was presented with much pride by the owner, Dan. He was a very hospitable host and made us feel most welcome. Very homely and wholesome. Loved the local produce too. We will come again Thank you 😊

Hari Hari

Booked as a dog friendly stop off on long journey. A magical place, wish were had time to stay longer. A hidden gem. We loved the fact that it was off grid but certainly did not miss out on any luxuries. Fabulously decorated and kitted out. We loved it. Great hosts. Thank you.

Great Disconnect

Well equipped little hut that is ideal to disconnect from the world and just chill out. They've done a great job of making the hut comfortable and functional without frills. We didn't end up using the bath because it was just too hard to get fire going. A little attention here would make that more enjoyable and usable.

Perfect off grid lodge

The lodge in itself is very unique. A work of love and attention to detail is amazing. Light a bonfire in the fire pit and sit on the covered deck with a bevy. There's almost no light pollution so if you want to soak in the wood fired bath and watch the night sky. Amethyst hot pools is a must. Natural hot spring located up the river. The native bird life is flourishing and you hear many different birds. Even moreporks talking to each other. Very still and quiet. Dan and Kath make their own honey and cider and i recommend that you try both. The local buther in Hari Hari does awesome sausages. We cooked ours on the pot belly with bread and sauce. Yum!! We had such a great time and we were well taken care of. Definitely be coming back real soon. I cant wait.

Awesome! Very cosy cabin and beautifull views!

This was our first bach and what a fantastic start! We've been here 2 days and were deligthed by the views and random visits of Mellow (the dog). The bach is cosy and we had very nice contact with the hostes who was very flexibel with changing the date.

Beautiful place, lovely folks!

Had a great weekend staying here with my partner. The cabin was beautifully done and cozy. Hospitality was amazing. Outdoor bath a winner! Highly recommend getting off grid, unwinding and enjoying the atmosphere here. We will be back in summer!
