The Rimu Hut - Off-grid Luxury riverside cabin

Everything - perfect piece of paradise, so secluded really gave you time to reset.

Having to leave.

Very beautiful location. Privacy guaranteed. A lot of pantry items available already - would be good to have a full list so guests are not buying double ups. Use of owners vehicle was handy over the rough track to the hut. The views were spectacular and we spent a lot of time taking photos outside.

The inability to walk around the Queen Bed due to extremely small bedroom size was awkward. So you had to crawl in from the end. It was cold when we were staying and with all the glass windows to appreciate the views, it made it colder still. Limited space for luggage.

Beautiful, scenic and quiet. Perfect for a weekend getaway

Die Lage ist einfach unbeschreiblich - mitten in der Natur und alleine .... ein Träumchen! Auch die Hot-Tube-Badewanne war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis! Ein absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Was uns leider gar nicht gefallen hat, war die Sauberkeit der Küche und dier Wohnzimmermöbel. Das hat unseren Aufenthalt ein wenig getrübt.

Die abgelegene Lage. Toller Ausblick. Das Outdoor-Bad.

We loved waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature, surrounded by mountains, farm animals, and wildlife. The Rimu Hut was beautifully prepared and had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The absolute highlight was the outdoor bath — ready in just 20 minutes and perfect for an evening soak beneath the moonlight and star-filled sky.

Not really a dislike, more just a factor of staying during peak summer. The hut did get quite warm at this time of year. The nearest supermarket was around 50 minutes away, so we cooked all our meals onsite. To get some airflow we needed to keep the windows open, but this did mean dealing with blowflies and hornets coming inside the minute windows were opened.

The location was amazing. Private, beautiful scenery with great sunrises and sunsets. It is close enough to the attractions, but far enough away from the world that you can relax and disconnect. The accommodation itself was very nice.

Well appointed and in the perfect location. The outside batch was fantastic (just give yourself enough time to get it going). Everything you could possibly need was there and the sky cleared up so we could see the stars.

Just wish we had booked for longer.

Beautiful stay, the hut was so cute and perfect for a short stay off grid. And being able to use the 4WD to reach it was a necessity we were very grateful for.

windows were left open so when we arrived there were heaps of dead bugs on the upstairs bed.

The cabin is quite remote but had everything we needed. The gurgling stream out the front, the deck to eat breakfast, the comfortable bed, the inside fire making the place warm and the decadent outside bath made our little getaway lovely.

Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by the sight of cows roaming freely across the meadow, a scene that perfectly set the tone for our stay. Nestled in the heart of nature, this charming cottage provided a truly memorable experience. One of the highlights was enjoying the outdoor bath while listening to the gentle flow of the stream and gazing upon the star studded sky and the Milky Way an unforgettable moment of serenity. The accommodation itself was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a most pleasant stay from beginning to end. Conveniently located just a 30 minute drive from the Waitomo Caves, it offers a rare and unique experience that captures the very essence of New Zealand.

Het was echt fantastisch, wat een bijzondere plek is dit. Je wilt echt nooit meer weg, dus zorg dat je echt alle boodschappen bij je hebt en begin met genieten. In het huisje zelf is aan alles gedacht, van warme deken tot verrekijker. Echt perfect

Het was echt fantastisch maar als ik dan toch iets moet bedenken: er is zeer weinig ruimte om je bagage een plekje te geven, en als je dan met z’n vieren bent is het best vol met alle koffers v 6 weken rondreis. Maar dat is een detail, verder klopt echt alles

The location is its biggest asset- about. 20 min drive from Waitomo caves and well worth it if you'd like somewhere different and special experience to stay. I loved the outdoor bath, albeit it does take a couple of hours to really heat up, well worth the effort. We used the downstairs bed, comfy and warm, great shower pressure and a flushing loo. We were aware of water useage given its rain-collected . There was no breakfast food provided specifically but we were left a couple of treats thank you and able to use condiments, oil, etc to help with basic cooking. There is a fridge, two gas elements and plenty of utensils etc to prepare an easymeal. Bring food with you so you don't need to leave such a relaxing set up. Had LOVELY WALK ABOUT, beautiful night sky and moody sunset. Very relaxing spot.

Nothing really - its such a special place to stay that'd you'd be nit picking really! It does end up being a bit costly for one nighter, ( although still worth the experience I reckon) with cleaning and booking fee etc so would recommend staying at least two if you can so you really get to relax and enjoy slowing down. Perhaps a better selection of board games?!

A wonderfully secluded, well-appointed 'hut' with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. The sunset views from the bath were fabulous (and enjoying the outdoor bath is an absolute must!), comfy bed, good shower with nice toiletries. Walking by the river and around the farm was lovely. Thank you so much.

Tranquil spot with an outdoor bathtub. Just superb. Amazing stargazing.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable with the most amazing view. The perfect place to switch off and enjoy nature in complete privacy. Couldn't recommend this stay enough!

Everything was perfect
