I am excited to share this peaceful and private space with you. I am a grandmother of many, and the layout of my cabin and garden has worked wonderfully for children. You are most welcome to explore the small acreage with care. All children MUST be supervised when outside.
Many guests have stayed an extra day and taken a roadtrip to enjoy the Marokopa Falls (appro 30mins, Piripiri Cave bush walk and the Mangapohue Natural bridge walk on their way out to the west coast beach settlements of Marokopa and Kiritihere. (It takes just under an hour to the beach.)
