The ultimate picnic spot – The Zen Den

There’s no place quite like the Zen Den for relaxing. Positioned right by the river, the Zen Den is available to guests in both the Moroccan Tent and the Cabin. Take a bottle of wine, one of our platters, and soak up the beautiful surroundings.

“From the moment we arrived till the moment we left we had an amazing time. Stunning location. Beautiful hot tub, delicious food from the farm. River dips and gazing across farmland to deer and cattle. Highly recommend.”

“What a wonderful place to step back from the hustle of life. The birds, the river…. The comfy bed and outdoor bath!! Off the grid but still creature comforts. Was only 25min from our home in Tauranga but felt like it was way out in the wilderness. Highly recommend it.”

– Tina

“Absolutely amazing place, we really enjoyed our time there. We barely saw a soul - it was very quiet and private. The outdoor bath was wonderful and we loved jumping in the river! Made our honeymoon perfect!”

“Loved the seclusion of the cabin. Watching the deer come through the bush, listening to native bird life, watching pheasants and rabbits coming to check us out. All this happening while having a well rested soak in the outdoor bath. Turn your phone off, de-stress and reconnect with nature and yourself.”
