You'll love your nights stay, and 2 nights is even better. So message & ask for our 2 night discounted price. You will be glad you called.

We have a romantic outdoor wood fired bath you may be interested in utilising ($25 to heat and set up).

The telescope is housed in its own observatory next to the barn. Enquires can be made as to the best dates to book to stay for observing the night sky’s. Generally mid week stays only , and best viewing of the moon is first and last quarter. The pool is also available upon request. It'll be cool from May-Oct, & enticing Nov-March.

Had a lovely stay at the barn - very spacious, modern, and beautiful setting with the outdoor pool, large garden and 2 outdoor baths, and the telescope! Great area to stay with lots of adventures, the river, and beach nearby. I would definitely stay again.

Bus Stop Cafe

It's all in the name: a bus and a cafe. This quirky cafe is situated in Te Horo on the Kapiti coast. Grab a coffee and enjoy some great local food (but get there early as it's in high demand!)

Te Horo Beach

Head down to the secluded Te Horo Beach, a hidden spot with views of Kapiti Island. You'll struggle to see another person anywhere else along this stretch of sand, given how remote it is. What better way to enjoy the privacy than to kick back with a bottle of wine and watch the sunset behind Kapiti Island?
