Harakeke Hut is a quaint yet modern retreat, perfect for those seeking a quiet and private escape. Nestled in regenerating, lush greenery and elevated to capture beautiful views, the hut offers a truly down-to-earth and eco-friendly experience surrounded by bird life and song. Guests can unwind in the outdoor bath, enjoy cooking on the outdoor BBQ with pizza stone and chill out. Facilities include solar powered lights, a fridge, a cute fireplace and a composting toilet, designed with sustainability in mind. With relaxing, rejuvenating nature walks from the doorstep, Harakeke Hut blends comfort with simplicity, creating a serene haven to restore, reconnect and bring one back to Earth.
At Harakeke Hut, we pride ourselves on being quiet, welcoming hosts who are always accommodating to our guests. We love horses and can even accommodate your horse/s if you’d like to bring them along. Our aim is to provide a place where people can truly unplug, relax, and unwind from the everyday stresses of work and life. With extensive knowledge of the local area, we are more than happy to share tips and advice on the best spots for mountain biking, horse riding, hunting, and tramping/hiking. Most of all, we strive to meet your needs and ensure your stay is as restful and enjoyable as possible.
Harakeke Hut is tucked away down a quiet, elusive country road, surrounded by farm life and regenerating bush, historic totara trees giving you the feeling of being miles from the hustle and bustle of the city. In reality, convenience is close at hand – just five minutes’ drive to Brightwater’s Four Square or the Sprig and Fern for a craft beer and a bite to eat. For outdoor adventurers, it’s only three minutes to the beautiful turquoise swimming holes of the Wairoa River, just down the road from The Wairoa Mountain Bike Park, and right by Mt Richmond Forest Park, where the iconic Te Araroa trail runs through. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful rural escape and easy access to both relaxation and adventure.
