We stayed for one night on 4 May 2012. The reception was closed in winter but they sent us an email telling us how to get the key on our own. What a great and private spot! The views were fantastic and the nearby Truman Walk led us to a fantastic view of the coastline. There were 4 rooms which... More

We turned up to find that we could not get the accommodation we’d booked, Rimu, as the people who’d stayed in it for the past few days kept wanting to stay on! So, we were upgraded to Rata, a sleep 7. Three bedrooms, large open-plan lounge/kitchen, bathroom. Very clean, very comfortable and the huge deck was great for sitting out... More

I have to say that I am so glad that I booked this accomodation well in advance. The office is slightly away from the accomodation but very easy to find. Just look out for the kayak office before the bridge and check in. The accomodation itself was the best. Great cooking facilities, amazing balcony, very clean, large bed and great... More

We were 8, spleeping in the "Flax Haven Villa" which was very spacios, well decorated and very well equipped with all furnitures, full kitchen, including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The jacuzzi outside was great and clean. The views to the sea are stunning and you feel like you are the only person in the area. We had a good... More

We spent one night in Punakaki at the Havenz in the Nikau room. It is a small studio room, but the deck was great with a very private wooded view. We loved feeling like we were staying in the jungle. There was no tv or internet, so for a long stay, it might have been a bit rustic. There was... More

This particular offering by HAVENz is something we really didn't want to review. We are way too selfish when we believe that we can have it remain exactly as we found it, forever. The photographs cannot do it justice. Quiet, isolated, remote and secure but within thirty seconds walk, down off a State Highway. Mind you a State Highway in... More

HAVENz is a complex of several wooden cabins, split into smaller units. We stayed here for one night in a unit called Miro Treehouse, occupying the ground floor with two larger units above. It was a little difficult to find and we needed guidance from the local i-Site office. Keys were collected from a Canoe Hires office, whilst it was... More

We stayed in the Flaxhaven House for 3 nights over the New Year - what a brilliant place to celebrate the New Year - large wooden house with deck looking west, good kitchen, large open living room, three double rooms, with one upstairs for that extra privacy and special view for parents. The house is surrounded by a garden for... More

In January 2011 my partner & i stayed only 1 night in the 'Nikau Room' of the Treehouse. I had perused the website first, ( which is informative & user-friendly ) to look through the rooms available & I decided the Nikau room was perfect. I emailed a request/question through & got a friendly reply straight away. When we arrived... More
