Everything was beyond expectations.

Reviewed Feb 16, 2025Absolutely stunning place to stay for a wee romantic getaway.. the hot tub was amazing especially stargazing.. Listening to all the birdlife and so close to home, housebus Bob had such a homely rustic vibe would definitely stay here again..
It was perfect, couldn't ask for more.

Reviewed Feb 12, 2025Such a lovely stay in the alpaca house truck. Nat and Grant have really put a lot of thought into the accommodation from all the quirky decor bits to the different seating area and outdoor hottub. The breakfast and alpaca walk was great too
We loved everything but maybe a fly screen on one window would be ideal just so could leave it open at night

Reviewed Jan 19, 2025Such a great spot to spend a couple of nights exploring the beautiful Takaka and Golden Bay area. Nat was such a wonderful host and helped us to engage with and learn about her delightful alpaca family members.

Reviewed Feb 10, 2024Nat was a great host! Very welcoming, helping us navigate the property. She gave us all the instructions needed to have an excellent stay, and even let us help train the alpacas in the morning. The location was private and peaceful at night. It was like we were alone under the stars. We will never forget our time at Nat’s house truck.
Everything was great! Don’t forget to use bug spray!

Reviewed Feb 4, 2024The House Truck itself is wonderfully quirky with lots of interessting details and features - especially the outdoor hottub. We spend an entire evening stargazing in it. Nat and Grant are great hosts. The breakfast was fabulous and we got lots of helpful information. In combination with the location in what felt like the middle of nowhere, it truly was like a whole nother world.

Reviewed Dec 11, 2023Fantastic place, very nice people, loved the alpacas and the interaction we got to do. I learned what “wrangling” means haha
Be aware of the sand flies as their bites are nasty. Small remark: The bed/mattress has seen its best time.

Reviewed Sep 2, 2023The house truck is incredibly homely and well thought out. After a nice hot soak in the tub, we opened the windows in the reading nook so we could take in the night sky and mellowed out to Johnny Cash CDs. In the morning, we got to feed the alpacas and Nat made some awesome pancakes for our trip back. All in all it was a really relaxing stay and would definitely go back.

Reviewed Jul 6, 2023Tranquil and peaceful spot with beautiful scenery. Had chance to admire the night sky and stars while in the wood fired hot-tub. Meandering along the forest up the creek offered us some time to immerse in nature. Awesome and inspiring setup and of course a great surprise to have alpacas in the same paddock as our accommodation with chance to interact and feed them. The cabin felt homely....Listening to old Johnny Cash classics while sipping on wine and playing chess with the fire warming us up! Couldn't ask for anything better than that! The host is absolutely lovely, helpful and even made us tasty brekkie!

Reviewed Jun 7, 2023Beautiful tranquil location staying in a character filled cosy private house truck next to nature. Nat was friendly, helpful, a wealth of knowledge and made my stay very comfortable. Next time i will stay longer to enjoy the outdoor hot tub. !
