We couldn’t fault the property in any way

It was set in such a natural environment, so well thought out, very Eco and zen and super relaxing

A bit of a game finding the place, following a trail of yellow tape tied to trees… thought it would never end but it did. Also dreaded the walk up to continue the QCT in the morning.

Formed one highlight of walking the Queen Charlottes Trail. Very isolated, charmingly rustic, beautiful views, relaxing outside hot tub.

Description on booking.com needs updated for the price of renting kayaks.

The yurt was wonderfully presented and very comfortable. The host was easy to chat to and has crafted a beautiful space. Provided the opportunity to explore nature without many people around. The hot tub was an added bonus!

Beautiful location, very peaceful. Ian went out of his way to make sure everything worked out for us. The breakfast in the kitchen hut was very generous - we appreciated the freshly baked bread. The yurt is beautiful.

Excellent hosts, beautiful location, comfortable facilities. Kayaks available, great pizzas and breakfast!

Nothing really. I guess the only drawback is that the tides are extreme and to find a sandy beach you have to walk 30 min or bike for 10.

Close to nature , beautiful, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He baked amazing bread and croissants every morning, came and picked us up from various places and lent us his kayaks and bikes. He was truly friendly and a lovely person. The vibe of the place is in tune with nature. At night you can watch the beautiful sunset from the comfort of an outdoor sofa and slow right down to the rhythm of the earth.

Nothing - no complaints at all

This place is amazing - an experience that you just won't get a predictable motel/lodge/hotel. Ian was fantastic, had the hot tub ready to go after our bike ride and the pizzas were some of the best I ever had .. and the bottle of wine on arrival was perfect! A highlight of our holiday for sure!

Fantastic location, happy that Ian is willing to share his beautiful piece of nature with his guests. The glow worms were magical, as well as the sun set and the milky way at night. The yurt is comfy and the pizzas are definitely worth it!

I loved Ngahere Hou! I wished we had stayed longer. Ian was the best host - I’m vegan but he was totally unfazed and made vegan pizza and fresh bread for breakfast. This place has such a lovely vibe to it that is hard to explain. It’s gorgeous and quiet and beautiful. There’s a bonus glow worm trip too! I would 100% return.

Our host, Ian, could not do enough for us. We changed plans numerous times due to road conditions, weather etc, but Ian was always quick to reply and offer solutions. Our glamping accommodating offered an experience like no other. The views, the solitude, the wildlife, the breaky (bacon, eggs, oj, coffee, freshly baked bread and croissants) were second to none. Ian's homemade pizzas are pretty awesome too after a hard day's walk on the Queen Charlotte Track.

Unique amazing experience. We had the most memorable stay at Ians place. We arrived after a day of walking, jumped in the spa pool and had a great evening enjoying the view and cheeky wekas checking us out. Ian was a great host and even picked us up after some confusion on our walking route. Pizzas were great and breakfast awesome. Just don't drink too much the night before as the walk up to the ridge is no joke!

The walk down the hill. Only thing was in the morning we needed to leave at a certain time to get the ferry but had to get the host for the breakfast but the bread and croissants were worth the wait!

Facilities were great. Outside shower was amazing Views were beautiful and pizzas were delicious. Weka guard was funny and worked well to keep them out hah

The toilet needs upgrading for flashing one - possibly by adding a septic tank!

Very unique experience staying in a yurt - Mongolian style! Very clean yurt and kitchen. Everything was sustainable and environmentally friendly; fascinating to be connected with the nature! Shower was in open space, really liked the idea! We impressed with a free bottle of wonderful wine in the room on arrival! Ian prepared a yummy pizza for dinner and offered a drive to Punga Cove as it was too rainy! Fresh bread & scones for breakfast were amazing.

I'm never going to love an outside toilet, but it was VERY clean and knew about it before we booked.

The breakfast was superb! Ian was an excellent baker.

Everything was super awesome.

Breakfast was amazing. Freshly baked bread and the views. Coffee was great. Many options to choose from. The Place is one of its kind. Ian the host is Amazing. Homemade Pizza for dinner was the best part. The stars, the views, the hot tub into the nature and the welcome wine. Certainly should try and go for it. Glowworms icing on the cake.

It is advertised as a 'luxury queen room' but it more like an average garden sleep-out. Should be advertised as 'querky and unique' more than luxury. A steep, solid 40 minute walk off the QS track

Breakfast food was supplied.
