Welcome to ōku forest house! Please note this is a PET Friendly house and it has 2 friendly resident dogs. Unfortunately we can not accept cats. Our Small double room is not suitable for Pet Stays. Due to the house location (hill top) there are stairs hence not suitable for people with heavy mobility issues. ōku house is set for connection with Nature and communal living.. The house is set on a hill and it features a spacious south-facing lounge with sea and mountain views, a fireplace, and plenty of room to lounge and chill out. There's direct access to a large outdoor terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and stargazing around the firepit. The bedrooms are located at the back of the house and in the attic, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion away from the main social areas. Our kitchen is shared and you will have an allocated space in the fridge. You are welcome to use the kitchen to cook or the barbecue but always being mindfull of other guests needs to use the same facilities. You will find several spots for meals around the house. We have a forest garden with a swimming pool and a deck and several dining areas

Hello, I am Rita and I am thrilled to host you at our Forest House! I will be personally welcoming you in the property. I live in the property so you will see me around. Please note this is a PET friendly villa and there are 2 resident dogs in the property. WE can not accept cats.
