    The lighting around the pathways could be better as It was difficult to walk back and forth from the kitchen/bathroom area in the dark.

    Bed was a bit "roll together" otherwise certainly as advertised!

    Location was quaint as was The Hobbit Cabin but warm & cosey. Conveniences were as advised, remote from the unit but certainly adequate

    a real experience to accommodate the natural beauty of Waikino

    It rained sadly.

    We were delighted to stay at Starry nights in the Hobbit. All of the facilities such a shower toilet kitchen etc were ' en plein air' which we expected..and throughly enjoyed. The location is excellent being just a short drive into Waihi. Sadly the weather did not allow us to appreciate the garden at its best, for we booked during three days of almost wall to wall rain but nevertheless we really enjoyed our stay. Once you realise that the accommodation is but 10 sq m in total you simply adjust. the bed however was a real dream and gave us that back to nature experience we were looking for. Not sure if the phrase glumping or glamping fits the bill here but for two or three days it is ideal really at Starry Nights. Sit on the verandah and watch the evening sky become so dark you can almost touch the blackness of the heavens.

    Just be mindful when walking on the steps as they can be very slippery after rain.

    The host was out when we arrived, but she left a lovely handwritten letter for us with instructions and we found everything all good! If you are looking for something cozy, look no further. The view is great and you will definitely see some stars during the night.

    A fantastic space, perfect for a relaxed break out of the city.

    Shared facilities like toilet, kitchen and shower could be better. Also only 1 toilet/shower we are not sure how good it could be with more people hosted. It was only us and another couple on that weekend. Kitchen fridge is too small and everything looks a bit old honestly. We believe with a bit of effort it could look much better.

    The place is very beautiful. Lots of trees around, beautiful garden areas and unique cabins designed. The bed was super comfortable and the place was very warm and cozy. Peaceful and quite location just interrupted by the birds. We loved the views trough our rounded windows. =)

    there were only 2 mugs in the kitchen for 3 rooms to use, the paths were a little bit overgrown so it was hard trying to navigate our way through with suitcases (it had been raining too so we got soaked)

    how unique and quirky the rooms were, the outdoor shower was lovely, the gardens were stunning, bed was super comfy, the serenity

    I thought our room was a little cluttered. There was minimal room for our stuff, but that’s probably because we had too much.

    Our host was so lovely. She was very welcoming to us all and allowed us to use her kitchen. The surroundings were quirky with cute sculptures in the garden.

    All small fridges seem to be noisy in the room. Lock box a bit tricky to get into Bed was a bit high, defiantly not built for Hobbits to use. Lock on the toilet door was tricky to lock Other than that very happy with the place.

    The room was delightful, with views for the countryside and quiet. Glad we had the Hobbit room, as it was further away from the toilet, shower, kitchen and water pump. I had not expected a small fridge, with tea and coffee making facilities including milk, so very happy We did not use the shower, but soap and shampoo were provided

    Beautiful spot, out of the main town and tucked away so lovely and quiet! The hobbit cabin was gorgeous and very cosy. The host was so friendly and checked in if we needed anything else. Bathroom and shower were outside but very well kept. With a clear night there is an amazing view of the stars as well. Highly recommend staying here!
