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: This is clearly a loved family property. The view is stunning in clear the weather. The host was very responsive and helpful, providing an old 4-wheel drive to get up the steep hill. The description of the property though is not clear about the layout. We stayed mid winter so perhaps less of an issue in summer. All cooking facilities are outside. We had to wrap up warm while cooking. The bathroom is also outside and underneath the house. It doesn’t have a door or solid walls all the way around. Very cold getting in and out of the shower or using the toilet. I checked several times and this is not made clear. Others have described it as a ‘luxury’ backcountry hut, but I didn’t realise that meant all facilities were outside. if that’s the marketing point I think the layout should be better described and it should be at a lower price point, and perhaps an off season rate over winter. There is a wood burner inside, no other heating, no double glazing on windows, so it is very cold in the mornings when you wake and when you get home at the end of the day. We had steamy breath when we woke, I don’t think that’s a healthy environment to sleep in, it’s definitely not comfortable. I’m not sure if the fire place is tested regularly or compliant, our clothing smelled strongly of smoke, so you would be breathing that air in. I don’t like leaving critical reviews but if properly described people can make better informed choices. I’m sure there is no ill intentions just a lack of details.
