Relaxing native forest retreat with sauna
Unwind and relax in this little home away from home. Rustigue is a play of words: ‘rustig’ is Dutch for tranquil; the style of the cottage is ‘rustic’ with a combination of all things to love: old, new, done up. The cottage is surrounded by rimu trees, native bush and ferns. It is well away from the main house and has its own driveway, so you have total privacy. Perfect for a romantic weekend away, or for a family to enjoy. We offer massages onsite on request - send us a message for more info:)
