Nailed it! The cabin had everything we were hoping for. No disappointments here. We never planned to stay in this area of NZ during our holiday but when I came across this cabin on the internet we had to change our plans to fit it in. So pleased we did! Gorgeous setting, roaring fire, tranquil birdsong, stunning deck and perfect place to unplug from electronics and reconnect as a family. We stayed with our kids 10 and 12 plus my elderly parents. My husband and I slept in the pull down bed by the fire and it was so comfortable. I've rarely seen the kids play together so happily for so long. When we get home we should cancel our Wifi!!!

Cascade Creek Retreat is easily the most heavenly place I have ever had the pleasure of staying at! My fiance and I were completely blown away by all the little details that made this a perfect stay. Upon arrival, the fridge was stocked with breakfast essentials, hot chocolate and marshmallows at the ready, home-made treats to enjoy and knitted socks to plod around in (just to name a few!). We truly had such a relaxing two days here. We adored sitting on the deck reading and playing board games, wandering the track by the creek, sitting in front of the crackling fireplace, driving through the sheep paddock, relaxing in the hammock and having a hot bath under the stars. We didn't think once about the lack of internet or TV - you don't need it when surrounding by this natural beauty. Absolutely amazing spot and we will definately be back one day. To anyone unsure if they should book this property... do it! It is the experience of a lifetime and 100% value for money.

Perfect!

Perfect!

Stop looking. You’ve found it. Staying in this beautiful log cabin for 3 nights was the highlight of our 12 day NZ adventure. From the moment I first enquired, the service provided was amazing. Janene was incredibly helpful and welcoming at every turn. When our stay finally arrived, my partner and I were extremely excited. We were a little nervous that perhaps we’d set our expectations unreasonably high, but we needn’t have worried – It was everything we’d hope for and more! We had ordered the Welcome Basket and were delighted to be greeted by an array of delicious treats – including fresh fruit and chocolate dipping sauce (yum!). We’d made the mistake of going shopping before heading to the cabin, because much of what we’d bought was already provided (milk, bread, cooking oil etc). The gorgeous stone fire place was set up, ready to be lit. Much of our time over the following 3 nights was spent sitting by the fire, sipping wine and eating cheese. The outdoor bathtub was a fantastic touch too – It was lovely to sink beneath the bubbles with a drink, take in the scenery and feel the cool crisp wind. We made good use of the board games and stereo provided, and between the impressive BBQ and the kitchenette we were also able to prepare some delicious meals. The bed was very comfortable (electric blankets were a great addition) as were the bathrobes provided (we wore them incessantly). We wish them every success. We’ll definitely be back!

“An absolute highlight of our trip” Words can’t describe how magic it was to arrive here and i wouldn’t want to spoil the experience by describing it. It feels remote, cosy, magical, romantic and luxurious. Of all the places we stayed in NZ this is the place that stands out. If you take some time out and spend it here you will not be disappointed, it is the ultimate chill out with plenty of native bush to trek about in, and one of the best views from any bath tub! This review is very late and we must apologise to the owners for this, although the fact that we rave about this place 8 months later says it all really.
