Te Ngahere Iti, is Maori for The Little Forest. This part of the country is pure New Zealand at its finest. The house is located in unspoiled New Zealand forest at the tip of the North Island, providing a retreat to enjoy life as it used to be, and to become one with nature.

The eco-friendly home is surrounded by native trees and birds. See rare Wood Pigeons sitting in the trees outside your window and relax to the song of Tuis and the sounds of the forest. At night the crystal clear astronomical skies reveal one of the best views of the Milky Way you will see in the Southern Hemisphere. Free from light and air pollution, you feel as if you can touch the stars, especially when looking through the 10" high power telescope.

Gary and Asta Little welcome you into their home and will provide you with a genuine New Zealand forest experience.

Vacation at bed and breakfast accommodation in a sustainable energy hosted-home.
