Welcome to Heartland Eco Retreat. This Far North holiday retreat accommodation is set in a tranquil glade within the Herekino Forest. Surrounded by fresh water and native bush, it’s the ultimate place to enjoy complete peace, privacy and serenity. Enjoy the light of the Milky Way. Stoke the outdoor fireplace, devour crispy woodfired pizzas, straight from the pizza oven and sunbathe on the white-sand beach beside the pond. Heartland is a cluster of four buildings: a main house (1 double bed, 1 single bed, 1 detached bathroom), a guest house (1 double bed, 1 single bed, 1 ensuite bathroom) and 2 cabins (each with 1 double bed and a shared bathroom). The main house features a new ensuite bathroom, wood fired pizza oven, and full size kitchen complete with a gas stove/oven and a gas fridge. The buildings at Heartland are rustic and environmentally focused, made largely of earth cement and other local materials. Each building enjoys a view of the heart-shaped pond, fed by a mountain spring. The property is off grid, with power supplied by a small solar system. Lighting and USB charge ports are available. The property receives 4G cell/mobile phone signal. Heartland is located at the end of an approximately 600 metre driveway with two easy ford crossings over small streams. While the driveway has some steep sections, these have recently been paved. 2WD vehicles are fine for accessing Heartland, as long as the driver is confident.
