We had an amazing stay at Nahum's property on Malcolm Island! The property was peaceful and the campsite was great. The orchard was a highlight—we loved picking and eating Nehum's fresh fruit especially the blueberries! The cozy barrel sauna gets HOT and there is the cabin to change in, for added comfort. Nehum was a great host and very welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! 10/10

This is a well named quaint property: the end of Malcolm Island. This is no glamping kind of cabin, but the host/owner Nahum was very friendly. The sauna and cold tub and outdoor heated on-demand shower and composting toilet were treats for an otherwise rustic experience. He may even offer you a taste of his craft brewed apple cider from his new orchard ~ this was top notch! Great to meet you Nahum!

The host was kind and informative. He gave a detailed tour of the property and the amenities, and told us of some of the events going on all over Malcolm Island for Salmon Days!
Very quiet property, we set up a tent in the orchard and had lots of privacy and places to relax. Sadly, we didn't use the sauna or hot tub this time around, but we will on our next visit. I did grab a couple raspberries and nasturtium flowers to add to our salad from Nayams garden. The outside shower was awesome and the composting toilet didn't actually stink which is always nice when using an outhouse haha
All around 4/5 stars would recommend.

Nahum’s place was amazing! He’s very generous with his space and there are plenty of campgrounds with varying amounts of privacy. It was hard to believe he’s only been there for a few years. The whole yard was beautiful. Walk to the beach was quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Nahum was super friendly and accommodating. Our kids loved picking raspberries and frolicking around the property. The hot tub and sauna were such a treat.

Magical spot to have all to ourselves. Our kids could be kids without me being nervous of their noise at 5am. We saw whales several times and the biggest pieces of kelp we’ve seen before. Host provided a brief tour on arrival and offered heaps of firewood. The property was neat to walk around - a bit overgrown but still maneuverable in sandals. We’ll absolutely be back.

This property is the one of the best camping experiences I have ever had! Stunning views, whales and porpoises in the water all the time, total seclusion, and Roger is such an excellent and thoughtful host.. He gave us full privacy but checked in when it was raining to make sure we were ok. There is so much to explore, and I cant wait to go there again!

What a gorgeous property! The waterfront site allowed us to watch the local minke whale, dolphins, bald eagles and there is even a nest in the tree above camp.

We loved Rahaula Heritage Farm so much that we extended our stay. And a good thing we did as we saw almost 20 Eagles feasting off shore. In addition to more whales and porpoises. It’s a magical spot and Roger an excellent host.

Rauhala Heritage Farm is an incredible property. We had the beach to ourselves and watched whales, porpoises and close to 20 eagles feeding off shore. Roger was a pleasant and informative host. It more than lived up to its Finnish name ‘Place of Peace’. We’re already looking forward to our next trip here.

We really enjoyed staying at Nahum’s place. Nahum was warm, communicative and generous in sharing his space with us. The sauna, star gazing and nearby wildlife sightings were really special. The cabin was rustic and a cosy alternative to the campsites over the winter season. We enjoyed exploring the island’s trails and scoping for whales and birds. Thanks Nahum for your excellent hospitality. We hope to see you again soon.
