A great stay!

9.0

A great, quirky stay in a beautiful part of New Zealand. Very comfortable bed and has all the facilities you would expect in a regular room.

− Outside bathroom is not ideal when it’s cold and/or raining.

A great experience, glad we booked.

Unique place to stay, with a lovely valley view, and the hot tub, now on the veranda, was lovely! The bbq worked really well, keeping cooking outside the property.

Hot tub with a view.

10.0

Great spot. Great view. Loved the amount of private outdoor space, which helped make it puppy friendly which was great for us as it was our first trip away with our new puppy. Our favourite thing was sitting in the hot-tub on the deck looking out at the view.
