The Rimu Hut: Luxury riverside and off-grid

Take a break at this peaceful riverside oasis, nestled beside the Marokopa River at the base of the Hereranga Range. The Rimu Hut offers an eco‑friendly, off‑grid experience with the comfort of home, powered by a reliable 4kW solar system and serviced by fresh rainwater. Inside, you’ll find a well‑appointed kitchen and bathroom, a queen bed downstairs and a double in the mezzanine — all dressed with 1000TC linen, feather pillows, and extra blankets for cosy evenings or stargazing on the deck. Enjoy a full shower with great water pressure, Ashley & Co amenities, Starlink internet for those who need to connect, and a private outdoor wood‑fired bath for a truly tranquil soak. Access is via a short, signposted farm track; a 4WD is recommended, and we’re happy to provide a farm vehicle if needed. Once you arrive, simply park up and step inside to unwind.
