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.

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...

Escape to Free Fall hut, a fully equipped rustic, romantic cabin located on a sunny berry farm in Te Awanga. This is the ideal place to unwind, with an outdoor tub to soak in, and prominent vineyards and beaches only a short bike ride away. The Space: A rustic timber and macrocarpa cabin with large French-doors and a comfortable queen-sized bed. Outdoor shower and bath (glamping style): Relax under the stars in the outdoor bath. Or enjoy the sheltered shower with the shutter doors open to rural views. Towels and basic hygiene amenities are provided. Patio and BBQ: Pizza plate for Webber BBQ. BBQ is available for outdoor cooking. Light the grill and invite your friends over to enjoy the outdoor space or simply enjoy it on your own. The patio can comfortably entertain additional guests with a large table and chairs. Kitchen: The kitchen has a small seating area for two, a toaster, a kettle, a microwave, a fridge, a small sink, and an electric cooking element. Enjoy breakfast with rural views. The shower, toilet, and kitchen are separate buildings located 10 meters from the main sleeping cabin based around the courtyard. Basic provisions: Plunger coffee, tea, and milk are provided. With a local store down the road, a coffee cart selling artisan pastries, and a plethora of local wineries at your fingertips serving brunch, lunch, and dinner, you can choose to explore the area for your kai or make something at home. We are less than a kilometer from the sea with access by walking and bike trails. Guest access: The cabin is completely separate from our home and orchard store. Nestled in its own private area, the cabin has its own facilities with none shared. Check out our socials for more photos! IG: @freefall_hut
