What our other guests had to say
We had a great stay in the Pekapeka Tiny House at Earthlore. We only stayed one night, but it was just what we needed for a weekend roadie through the Catlins. Quiet and peaceful. Gordon is a great host. Great communication and met us on arrival to make sure we had everything we needed and then...

it's a wonderful place to relax in nature. Gordon and Janine are very nice hosts. We were allowed to explore the entire grounds and were able to observe and photograph many local birds. Thanks again for the great time!

It was great being in a rural setting but also so close to Owaka with shops & a 4 Square supermarket. This was a great base for exploring the Catlins over three days or so. The tiny house was definitely small, but it was also very modern and comfortable.
