Auction Item #11
One-Night Stay at Tempello Islands Hut
Kindly donated by: the Grigg Family | Tempello

Escape the hustle and bustle with a relaxing one-night stay at the charming Tempello Islands Hut, nestled beside a picturesque stream in the stunning Awatere Hills, just 30 minutes from Blenheim.

This cosy, two-bedroom back-country retreat comfortably sleeps up to six guests, featuring a comfortable double bed, wood burner, and gas hob for a true off-grid experience.

Spend your days exploring the surrounding hills, roasting marshmallows around the outdoor firepit, or visiting the resident eels as you collect fresh water from the stream. As night falls, leave the technology behind—there's no cell phone coverage, making it the perfect opportunity to reconnect with family and friends over candlelight and a game of cards.

Accessible by vehicle (4WD, ute, or a car with good clearance via Blairich), dogs welcome (please note, no hunting).

Date to be arranged by mutual agreement with the Grigg Family.
