1 Bedroom Cottage in Solway, Mount Holdsworth

Built to provide the platform to take in the beautiful skyline. Constructed on poles allowing breathtaking views of the Waingawa river valley, and beyond into the Tararua range. Jumbo Hut is in plain view. Surrounded by native bush on three sides, and on the other by grazing animals belonging to the Mt Holdsworth Station. Many birds can be seen and heard close-in. You can find restful places for quiet contemplation not far from the cottage. This hideaway has been appreciated by many over time, and has been praised by guests as being comparable to a luxurious Kiwi bush hut. The Far Pavilion is entirely unique in its design, facilities, and overall rustic styling . Some visitors have spent periods here in solitary sojourns taking in the special ambience. We hope you'll find surprises that will bring delight. Deeply dark nights present clear, star filled skies with viewing of the passovers of the International Space Station if on schedule. If required, a 4WD Pajero is provided gratis for visitors, as the dwelling is situated up a non-hazardous, but 4WD only track , making its position even more isolated and secure for your peace and enjoyment. Please disclose on enquiry if you will need this 4WD . MUST BE 4WD for the journey up the hill. Your privacy during your stay will be carefully respected.. We do ask a couple of days grace to prepare for your visit.

Summary: What a marvelous place to stay. We stayed 2 nights and could have done longer.Our only neighbours were some sheep . The hut was just amazing and the time and thought put into is just wonderful. Our dogs were fine and there is a nice wee walk you can take them on and a seat at the end to sit and watch the birds fly by lol.The views were absolutely amazing!!!.I cant wait to go back.Thank you Maggie and Dave for such a lovely, thought out little place of heaven.
