(Stayed in May, not Feb) Stunning spot! Loved all the birdlife - it was so relaxing sitting on the porch in the sunshine with the birds all around. Super special experience seeing a wild kiwi for the first time. The manager there was the best, and I had so much fun exploring the place with her looking for kiwi! (If you're reading this, I went for a wander to say bye to you but didn't spot you. Thank you for an awesome stay! <3 ) The cabin itself was really comfy, great wee kitchenette too, but the deck overlooking the wetlands was the highlight. I've found a new favourite holiday spot, will be back soon!

This place was just MAGIC! Can't say enough about this place. We are a group of 5 who routinely rent out homes for our occasional gatherings around the world and Tree Tops Oasis ranks the highest for us. There was plenty of space in the kitchen for many of us to move around at the same time, which is important since we like to cook. No shortage of appliances and kitchenware. This house is well-designed to accomodate groups with plenty of lounging options both inside and outside. The beds were comfortable, all 3 bathrooms were spacious and again, well designed. There was clearly a great deal of thought that went into the build and layout of this house, as well as to the furniture and decor. I can't recommend it highly enough!
