Beautiful peaceful place to stay for the weekend. Outdoor bath and use of bikes was much appreciated! Lots of thoughtful extra touches
Fantastic, prompt communication with the owners, very cute, warm & cleverly constructed place to stay.
The bedroom is super cosy yet the bed is quite soft, fine for one night.
The outdoor shower and bath. The beautiful carpentry. The little touches - fresh flowers in bathroom and shower, fruit bowl in kitchen, recommendations for local restaurants, umbrella left when it rained. The calm idyllic setting.
Es war ein besonderes Ambiente. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Everything! The gorgeous outdoor shower was such a treat, highly recommend! Sipping wine in the tub really topped it off. This retreat has been crafted with love and it shows. We loved everything about this stay and will definitely be back.

Het was heel bijzonder met de verschillende compartimenten die stuk voor stuk met veel liefde en oog voor detail en gezelligheid waren ingericht. Aan alles was gedacht. Mooi!
Lots of individual little huts make up the full accommodation which is really unique and so much thought into the design of each. The outdoor shower is gorgeous! Overall super cosy, great location and lots of little extra touches. Really appreciated the use of bikes too
Fantastic
Beautiful secluded location surrounded by trees, flowers and birdsong. Huts were so beautifully made and finished off with great detail. Bedroom was gorgeous, bed was comfortable. Deck was perfect for morning cuppa. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances etc and loved the extra touches of homemade jam and the extras. Toilet was clean and private. Outdoor shower was the best water pressure and just a gem with its view. Loved the outdoor bath with the extra’s and the view. All the little extra lights, bean bags and my favourite vases of flowers made it extra special. Hosts Julie & Tony were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in the Hawkes Bay we spent 4 nights and will definitely go back.
Nothing.
Loved the outdoor shower and bath and the views over the orchard.
We chose this place primarily for the location as it is a perfect spot to visit the surrounding area and visit the local wineries. It was so idyllic though that we actually just stayed there for 2 days and enjoyed all that the accommodation has to offer. Unique and special.
There was nothing to dislike. A rare 10/10
Lovely property with a great view. 15-20 minute drive from the city. Perfectly located between the city and the Gannet colony. Facilities were clean and comfortable. Would stay again.
Not really a bad thing but the lock for the bathroom was on the outside.
Nice relaxing hutt in a remote location. Very clean and comfortable.
Great location with lovely hosts. Welcome bread and homemade jam was a tasty treat. Very quiet and peaceful.
Relaxing, convenient, comfy.

Everything. This property is perfection. I loved the location, the surroundings, the bed, the shower, the bath & the owners. There is not a thing I could say that is wrong with this. Perfect break away from the city. Incredibly peaceful.
It was secluded, peaceful and quiet. It was beautiful look out at the view of the orchard even from the bedroom. The hut was tidy, cosy and had all we needed.
There was not much to dislike about the property as we found everything to be excellent!
Small touches like dressing gowns and choccy in the fridge
Beautiful place, location was stunning looking out into the apple orchard. Loved the outdoor seating area with BBQ, kitchen. Outdoor bath and shower was great. Just a really cool place to stay!
Nothing - everything was fantastic!
Freefall had so much atmosphere, very quaint and rustic. The location was very private and calming in a lovely environment. Each area of the accommodation was beautifully and naturally decorated and the garden amongst the huts were beautiful.
One of the best place I have ever been. It is exceptionally atypic and cosy. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful experience surrounded by nature. Julie is an amazing host and she provided everything we could ever need.
I loved the outdoor bath and shower! The pathways between each hutt, the robes, the personalised not and welcome board!
It would have been good to have an option of a continental breakfast. So many great local merchants- seems like a great way to showcase local granola, friuits, jams and parties.
This is a unique property. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. The hosts are very considerate and unobtrusive. We were blessed with good weather so all in all a fantastic experience

Just a piece of heaven. Great host, beautiful place to spend few days and to explore Hawkes bay.
Quaint, unique setting, very relaxing and so many homely and thoughtful touches
Very quiet rural location with no road noise. Great place if you want peace and tranquility.
Separate toilet in another wee hut a wee walk from the main hut.
It is a very unique place. Very sheltered, and private

Everything was there to ensure a comfortable stay, lots of little touches that were so appreciated! Great recommendations for the area, we booked a dinner at Craggy Range in advance - so recommend this for a special occasion! So cute and private, we loved having a wine by the fire.
Nothing to dislike.
I loved how remote and private the accommodation was overlooking Hawke’s Bay Apple orchard. We enjoyed having the fire 🔥 at night, BBQ dinners and outdoor bubble baths and open shower. We visited Hygee at Clifton for a lovely brunch. There was bike hire, wineries, walks like.
I am local and would go back.
Julie was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Perfect little slice of heaven for my bestie and I to get away for the weekend. It was clean, and had everything we needed for the weekend. Nice and private with a therapeutic rustic vibe. Truly something beautiful to relax, unwind and enjoy. The shower was divine, as well as the outdoor bath. Thank you for the lovely stay.
Everything about the free fall hut was so carefully detailed and characteristic. Loved the rustic style, the beautiful feeling of being with nature and the outdoor bath was definitely my highlight. The owners were lovely, great communication right from the time I booked. Helpful with everything even offered to carry my bags for me, and gave me hayfever tablets which I had forgotten to bring. Amazing experience.
I loved everything!
So many personal touches. Absolutely everything you could need. Bed so comfortable with beautiful linen. Fire pit ready to light, with wood ready to stoke. Fresh flowers in the bathroom, the list goes on....
Nothing!!!
This is an amazing set-up in a fabulous location with a great sunset. Loved the outdoor shower with a view over an orchard, and the smell of the timber. I'd stay here again for sure
Gorgeous glamping in comfort. Great outdoor shower and bath, was fun having a BBQ. Loved all the handmade details of the accommodation and the flowers and other personal touches. Prolific birdlife, very private but still close to Haumoana. Julie and Tony made us feel very welcome.
Amazing place in an amazing location with awesome hosts. We had a fantastic 2 night stay here, the hut was warm and cosy, the shower was magical and to top it all off we could have a bath under the stars at the end of the day. Tony and Julie were super welcoming hosts and we very much appreciated the berries that were left for us each morning!
Exceptional - this is a rare gem! Great care and passion has gone into creating such a beautiful place, don't think just book! Julie was wonderful!

Can’t fault anything
Stunning place with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. Amazing attention to detail!
Every detail was thought of but they respected our privacy at same time.beautiful spot and central in hawkes bay so we got a good look around
No
Freefall Hut is a wonderfully cozy & romantic cabin with excellent facilities. We loved the amazing woodwork, outdoor shower with endless hot water & great water pressure (always important in an outdoor shower). We only wished we could have stayed longer and enjoyed all the other facilities, outdoor bath, fire pit and BBQ. We will be back!
