What people are saying

“The Rimu Hut was wonderful. Great location for Waitomo Caves or for a relaxing, peaceful getaway - there are no restaurants within half an hour’s drive but I more than recommend packing supplies for your own BBQ dinner, the surroundings are quiet and the stars are to die for, much better than going out! Once you get there, you won't want to leave. We will definitely be back again.”

“Staying at Rimu Hut was exactly what my husband and I needed. It was private, cosy, peaceful and had everything we needed. Sitting out on the deck looking over the trees, river and hills was absolutely beautiful, we were able to read, sunbathe, have a bbq and stay outside until dusk. If you are wanting to escape and recharge then this place is a must! Thank you”

“The Rimu hut was exactly what I was looking for. My stay was a great opportunity to disconnect while work and life has been busy, I left feeling refreshed. I loved being able to sit outside watching the sunset down the valley, so stunning! Emily and Andrew have done an awesome job making the hut feeling homely. The solar panels added to the charm and functionality of the hut, and I appreciated the attention to detail in making the effort towards being sustainable and eco-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.”

“Cabin is well appointed, comfortable beds & furnishings, very clean. Everything needed is provided including a mat for yoga on the deck & binoculars for bird watching. Can't say enough about the surroundings which are beautiful rolling green hills. So serene & private. Great way to enjoy the NZ countryside. Loved the big sliding doors that opened right onto the deck, the river in front, the gorgeous view & bird song. Arrived in the dark but sunrise in front of the cabin was incredible.”
