    Freefall had so much atmosphere, very quaint and rustic. The location was very private and calming in a lovely environment. Each area of the accommodation was beautifully and naturally decorated and the garden amongst the huts were beautiful.

Escape to Free Fall hut, a fully equipped rustic, romantic cabin located on a sunny berry farm in Te Awanga. This is the ideal place to unwind, with an outdoor tub to soak in, a fire to roast marshmallows on and prominent vineyards and beaches only a short bike ride away. The Space: A rustic timber and macrocarpa cabin with large French-doors and a comfortable queen-sized bed. Outdoor shower and bath (glamping style): Relax under the stars in the outdoor bath. Or enjoy the sheltered shower with the shutter doors open to rural views. Towels and basic hygiene amenities are provided. Fire pit!: Roast marshmallows and enjoy a vino in front of our fire pit 🔥 Patio and BBQ: A BBQ is available for outdoor cooking. Light the grill and invite your friends over to enjoy the outdoor space, or simply enjoy it on your own. The patio can comfortably entertain additional guests with a large table and chairs. Kitchen: The kitchen has a small seating area for two, a toaster, a kettle, a microwave, a fridge, a small sink, and an electric cooking element. Enjoy breakfast with rural views. The shower, toilet, and kitchen are separate buildings located 10 meters from the main sleeping cabin based around the courtyard. Basic provisions: Plunger coffee, tea, and milk are provided. During the season, enjoy fresh berries for breakfast left by your host or pick them yourselves. There is also a small vegetable garden with seasonal vegetables and herbs. With a local store down the road, a coffee cart selling artisan pastries, and a plethora of local wineries at your fingertips serving brunch, lunch, and dinner, you can choose to explore the area for your kai or make something at home. We are less than a kilometer from the sea with access by walking and bike trails. Guest access: The cabin is completely separate from our home and orchard store. Nestled in its own private area, the cabin has its own facilities with none shared. Check out our socials for more photos! IG: @freefall_hut
