Really glad I got to experience this isolated bach for a full week. Brent was a great host. Place is full of character - vintage Shamlock stove, with plenty of firewood and butane burner for the mornings. Creek right behind can sit on the rocks and enjoy a hot drink as the day comes alive then walk through the bush and up or down the Ahaura River, or there's also a longer bush walk up the hill behind the bach. Creek noise provides a constant ambience, which I found super nice to sleep, and usually heard and/or saw a few birds in the mornings too. Probably only counted 5 or 6 cars going past in my whole 8 days there. Discovered by accident you can get 1 bar on Spark down the road near the top of the airstrip, in case you really need it. Would be defeating the point though! Super peaceful place.
