  • Hi, my husband and I are looking at accommodation near the falls retreat for a wedding on the 5th of September. Do you have any availability? Are you aware of any shuttle services we would be able to use getting back to your accommodation after the wedding? Thank you in advance Alaina Brooks
    Alaina, We are available on that date. You can book us through this site. We are only 5 minutes away from the venue. We can work out transportation.

  • Hi there, is it ok to bring a small dog in the premises to stay with us?
    Hi, Thanks for asking. We love dogs and we have three of our own, 2 of which we brought from Borneo. We wouldn't want to tempt any untoward incident? We have in the past, but we try not to encourage it.
    Answered on 15 November 2021
  • Hi there. The cabin looks so serene. Would I be correct in assuming it is private and self contained?
    The cabin is extremely serene and private yet very strategically located. It is not 100% self-contained as the private shower and bathroom are a separate building right next to it. Fridge, kettle, cutlery/plates,towels, free wifi and parking

  • Good afternoon, I stayed in your property about two years ago and loved it. Is there a company who made the Dome that you could give me the details?
    HI. I am not sure f they are still operational - http://www.shantyseachalets.co.nz/
    Answered on 8 March 2021
  • Hi There, Looking at doing a run on the 21 November start line is Dickey Flat adventure Camp. How far from you. Thanks Mandy
    Mandy, It's just down the road from house, about 10 minutes walk. Unfortunately, another runner has already booked it. The next nearest would be The Waikino Cabins (also on this site). It's around the corner from us and a longer walk, say 25 mins?
