We had a great stay thankyou. Havnt felt so relaxed in a long time. The hut is very cosy and has everything you need to enjoy yourself and experience a taste of 'off grid' living.
Enjoyed all of it
Was our second time here....love the bush bath and that its dog friendly
I loved this eco stay hut. Note the toilet is an outhouse. The shower is separate too but has hot water. The kitchen is an outside covered porch. A little like camping but with a comfy bed.
Very unique, lovely host. Only stayed one night so didn't get the chance to use all the facilities, outdoor bath and outdoor.fire, bbq. Lovely wee place and put together with love. Was great being able to have my dog stay as well.
Personal preference,, bed was way too soft for my liking and location wise you defo need a car. Would be great to have a bit of info on the walks around ( maybe was there and we just didn't see it).
Lovely cosy property out in nature
Nothing it was all good

Toilettes dans la cabane au fond du jardin
Beautiful cabin in a secluded spot near a beautiful beach. Would loved to have spent more time here! Thank you Shelley for welcoming us.
Stunning gardens, very comfortable accommodation.
Loved this unique eco paradise
I loved my stay at the eco gum boot paradise it was more than I expected it was so cosy and everything you want to relax from your normal. It was super clean and super cosy
So much character! We enjoyed the private outdoor tub!
Perfect off grid and rustic - had everything we needed and the outside bath was perfect!
Another excellent time had at Gumboot Paradise. For such a simplistic place to stay Shelly makes sure that she has catered for all your needs. Wonderful host.
Nothing, it’s the perfect getaway. Simple but beautiful 🥰
Beautiful spot your own little piece of paradise. The cabin is so cosy and comfortable a lot of lovely little details made our stay perfect. The wood fired bath was incredible.
The outside fire and bath were a highlight, but the whole place was cute and cosy. Just what my daughter and I needed 🥰 Shelly was a wonderful host 🙏🏼
Nothing, it was perfect!!!!
Absolutely beautiful “off grid” paradise. Cosy and private with a touch of seclusion made this property one of my favourite of all times. Peaceful, natural and stunning. The outdoor bath was incredible, my daughter absolutely loved the swing and the cute upstairs cubby room. The lights give the entire place such a wonderful vibe. I’ve already told everyone I know about this place and I cannot wait to visit again.
Beautiful location and dog friendly , eco stay in whet felt like the middle of nowhere but still accessible to local shops etc
Toilet was a little far from the hut but understandable as it’s a long drop
I loved the out door bath and back to basics with a little rustic luxury .. Bed was super comfortable and everything was clean .
The whole of the accommodation was perfect. All the facilities were clean, built well and beautiful. (Mostly built by the owner btw!). The clean and well equipped kitchen with mega BBQ was our favorite part. Besides that, the garden was designed beautifully with many plants and flowers. The beds were amazing as well. (Better than my own bed at home). And the outdoor living was so fun compared to our daily life in a big city. We honestly have zero complaints. Best place we have stayed in New Zealand!
Awesome spot, so fab to have a rustic yet perfectly set up retreat - even marshmallows for the open fire! So much character, and so well put together you want for nothing
Nothing - we loved it. Those who need mod cons might be put off - their loss
Very quiet. Cool wee place
The shower could have been a bit better but thats a minor with the bath being so handy.. especially in the weather we had.
Loved our stay. The outside bath and sitting around the fire were a highlight.
The setting is great, we loved having a fenced off area for our dogs. The fire and sitting area were nice too 😀
The solar system inverter turned on every half an hour or so during the night which sounded like someone vacuuming and didn’t make for a great sleep at all. The bright green light on it wasn’t very nice either. The shower had low pressure and was hard to regulate to a consistent temperature. The composting toilet is too high to sit on comfortably and too far away for the rainy night we had. The ceiling in the unit with the loft is low which meant my husband bumped his head in the night. Too expensive for what is offered.
The place was awesome, and the host was very amazing
