The space
Nestled in the heart of the Utakura Valley, Reset Retreat is set on 25-acres of private forest with several kilometers of hiking trails that are yours to explore. The forest is home to many Northland Brown Kiwis which you will (hopefully) hear calling throughout the night. If you are lucky, you might even get the opportunity to see one in the wild if you take a night walk on the forest trails.
You will have your own covered balcony and outdoor cooking space (pictured), your own entry and room (pictured), and private ensuite with shower.
The Reset Retreat whānau have worked hard as Kaitiaki of the land over the last three years, working alongside the Northland Council on pest control and reforestation. As a result (alongside Kiwis) you can also see Titiwai/glow worms, Kererū, Tui, Tomtits, and possibly spotted longtailed bats on dusk, Ruru, Riroriro, Cave and Tree Wetas, the rare and gorgeous, large, green Puriri Moths, Piwakawakas, Peacocks, and a host of other native and non-native animals, insects and plants.
The Reset Retreat whānau will be delighted to have you as their guest and share the magic of this valley with you.
Reset Retreat is fully off-grid – that means power comes from the sun, water comes from the rain, internet comes from Starlink satellites and heat comes from the fireplace (with a heat transfer system that disperses the heat throughout the house).
Guest access
You can access the guest house immediately upon arrival and will find a key inside should you wish to lock up when you leave.
