About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Alpacas Off Grid - Eco Cabin

This property is like a little world of its own. Here you can get completely back to nature. The self contained cabin is newly renovated, comfy, secluded and a little quirky. It offers a private wood fired hot tub, garden hammock, outdoor dining table, fireplace in the lounge room, upstairs bedroom with comfortable super king bed and fully equipped kitchen. We're off-grid, so your stay will be carbon neutral.

The cabin accommodates 2 adults in the upstairs bedroom & 2 children on the sofa bed on the ground level lounge room. If your group is 4 adults we can accommodate 2 in the cabin & 2 in our house truck located 50 metres away (see our other site "Alpacas Off Grid - House Truck (Spacious/Boutique). Children are charged $90 per night per child (2-17 yrs). Breakfast at our house is included in your stay.

Step into another world: You will be on 32 acres of stunning native bush, hills and pasture. You will be sharing it with alpacas, chickens, ducks and aTibetan Spaniel.

We have glow worms!!!!...and pretty walking tracks on site.

On site you'll find lots of beautiful walking tracks, a couple of crystal clear creeks as well as diverse and plentiful wildlife....not to mention lots and lots of peace and quiet.

We hope to appeal to guests looking for a fun experience. We provide comfortable accommodation with an emphasis on what is essential. For us that means getting in touch with nature. Living simply.

We do not offer a TV, although there is a stereo. Internet access is possible but wifi is not in the cabin. We encourage people to unplug...play some board games...visit the alpacas. Of course guests should feel free to bring laptops etc... International guests should buy a 'Spark' SIM card for the best reception in this area.

We ask guests to take it slow on the steep gravel driveway and to close any gates they open as some animals are roaming.

We have several on site walking tracks which are beautiful. Also, just next door is the Kahurangi National Park and Takaka River.

We believe the Golden Bay area is still very much under rated so we advise guests to allow as much time as possible to explore the area properly. A vehicle is more or less essential unless you fly into Takaka in which case a car rental can be made. In winter you may arrange free airport transfers with us. It is certainly possible to spend a couple of nights here without a car for those who just want to relax.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Kahurangi National Park. Free breakfast and a spa tub are available. The cabin includes amenities such as a kitchen and a fireplace.
  • The cabin offers a kitchen, a fireplace, and a patio
  • Free breakfast offered
  • 6.9 mi (11.2 km) from Abel Tasman National Park and 0.9 mi (1.5 km) from Kahurangi National Park
Free breakfast is available. This cabin also features a spa tub, a garden, and express check-in.

This Upper Takaka cabin is smoke free.

Spectacular weekend getaway
We had an absolutely wonderful time - the accomodation is comfortable and clean, the alpaca are adorable, and the hosts are lovely. Breakfast was a real highlight, as well as the views. We will definitely be coming back to stay again!

Une belle expérience dans l'arrière pays
Une belle découverte avec des propriétaires sympathiques et avenants dans un environnement exceptionnel de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Avec le plaisir de côtoyer des Alpagas pendant tout notre séjour. Je recommande chaudement. Claude

Delightful Experience
The stay was so delightful and memorable. The guest suite, the alpacas, the breakfast on the patio with a stunning view were all fabulous. It’s a farm stay with quirky edges but totally comfortable and I’d go back in a heartbeat. The area of Golden Bay is now our favourite part of New Zealand and we’re so glad we found it.

Can not speak highly enough of our stay. We were warmly greeted on arrival and walked through our accommodation so we new where everything was and how it all worked. Our hosts were amazing you couldn't meet nicer people. So if you are looking for a amazing spot to chill this is the place.

Glorious bountiful simplicity
Highlights: getting to know the alpacas, chickens and dog.....and the owners who are very kind but unobtrusive. Relaxing and unplugging ...... off the grid Yummy breakfasts with ingredients gathered on the property Starlight hot tub with just the sounds of cicadas and the creek Really remote with beautiful scenery yet so much to do in the area We will definitely be back! Thanks 🙏

Rural paradies with amazing host
Nat and Grant have the friendliest chickens with the strongest personalities we have ever met. But also the alpacas, ducks and even the hosts themselves are wonderful to spend time with. ;) The spacious property is an ideal place to relax and enjoy nature. The lovingly homemade breakfast was always a highlight for a great start into the day.
