Located in Port Charles, Tangiaro Kiwi Retreat offers eight one- or two-bedroom self-contained wooden cottages, each pair sharing a barbecue. There’s a bush-fringed spa, an in-house massage therapist ($75 per hour) and, in summer, a cafe and licensed restaurant. The 20km road down to Port Charles from the intersection of Port Charles Rd and Waikawau Rd is winding and unsealed.
