Black Bivvy is 18 minutes drive from Taumarunui in the King Country region, in the Central North Island. It's approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Taupō.
Sleeping up to four (perfect for two couples), the large, purpose-built, off-grid hut sits in a sheltered Northern facing clearing on the edge of a 70-hectare stand of mature native bush. A stony-bottom stream runs below the hut and down to a pretty waterfall.
The hut is comfortable, modern and spacious - and made for outdoor living. A sliding window in the kitchen and door from the living area open up to a large outdoor covered dining space and outdoor fireplace - kitted out with grills for barbequing over the open fire. An outdoor bath sits on the edge of the deck - a place to while away the hours with a view of the starry night sky.
Black Bivvy is a place to immerse yourself in nature as wildlife abounds. Explore the bush tracks on the property and enjoy breathtaking views of Tongariro National Park. Keep an eye out for tui, kererū, and fantails, which are frequent visitors, and, if you're lucky, you may even spot one of the wild deer that wander the property.
