About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Alpacas Off Grid - Eco Cabin

This property is like a little world of its own. Here you can get completely back to nature. The self contained cabin is newly renovated, comfy, secluded and a little quirky. It offers a private wood fired hot tub, garden hammock, creek views with private access to the creek, indoor & outdoor dining table, fireplace in the lounge room, upstairs bedroom with comfortable super king bed and fully equipped kitchen. We're off-grid, so your stay will be carbon neutral.

The cabin accommodates 2 adults in the upstairs bedroom & 2 children on the sofa bed on the ground level lounge room. If your group is 4 adults we can accommodate 2 in the cabin & 2 in our house truck located 50 metres away (see our other site "Alpacas Off Grid - House Truck (Spacious/Boutique). Children are charged $90 per night per child (2-17 yrs).

Step into another world: You will be on 32 acres of stunning native bush bordering the Kahurangi National Park. Star gazing is amongst some of the best on offer with zero light pollution. You will be sharing it with alpacas, chickens, ducks and a Tibetan Spaniel.

We have glow worms!!!!...On site you'll find lots of beautiful walking tracks, a couple of crystal clear creeks as well as diverse and plentiful wildlife....not to mention lots and lots of peace and quiet.

We hope to appeal to guests looking for a fun experience. We provide comfortable accommodation with an emphasis on what is essential. For us that means getting in touch with nature. Living simply.

We do not offer a TV, although there is a stereo. Internet access is available at our house daily 8am-midday but wifi is not in the cabin. We encourage people to unplug...play some board games...visit the alpacas. International guests should buy a 'Spark' SIM card for the best reception in this area.

We ask guests to take it slow on the steep gravel driveway and to close any gates they open as some animals are roaming.

We believe the Golden Bay area is still very much under rated so we advise guests to allow as much time as possible to explore the area properly. A vehicle is more or less essential unless you fly into Takaka in which case a car rental can be made. In winter you may arrange free airport transfers with us. It is certainly possible to spend a couple of nights here without a car for those who just want to relax.
