Story

How this place began

We opened Tester so guests could have the week we always wanted: unhurried food, a desk if you need it, and someone to ask about the trail behind the house. Edit this story with your own words, photos, and the details only you know.

The hosts

We look after Tester

Introduce yourselves here. Guests book people as much as places. A short note about meals, trails, and how you like to welcome people goes a long way.

The rhythm

A day here

Nothing is compulsory. This is the rhythm most guests fall into.

  1. Morning

    Tea on the verandah

    Birds first, then breakfast. Ask if you want a packed lunch.

  2. Afternoon

    Walk or work

    A two-hour trail, or the desk by the window. Wifi holds a video call.

  3. Evening

    Fire and dinner

    If you booked a meal, it is served at 8. Otherwise the town is a short drive away.

Before you arrive

A few house notes

  • 01

    Check-in from 2pm

    Early drop-off of bags is usually fine. Message us.

  • 02

    Quiet after 10pm

    The neighbours are close enough to hear music.

  • 03

    No smoking indoors

    The courtyard is the place for that.

  • 04

    Kids are welcome

    Please stay with them near water or unfenced edges.
