Eimmalige Lage

9.0

Wunderschöne Lage direkt am Fluss. Schon die Anfahrt ist ein Traum durch eine liebliche Hügellandschaft mit vielen Schafen, Neuseeland-Feeling pur. Sehr feines Essen mit Zutaten aus dem eigenen Garten, sehr freundliches Personal. Beim Abendessen sitzt man mit anderen Gästen an einem grossen Tisch und kommt rasch ins Gespräch.

− Eher teuer

Friendly staff and wonderfully isolated, tucked beside the Rangitikei River in a deep canyon, and no mobile phone coverage!

Good

7.0

Cool location, remote, met some lovely young men from Costa Rica touring the country when having the shared dinner

− For $430.00 we thought it would be a bit nicer, not really a deluxe room but OK Felt the property needed a bit of TLC e.g. petanque area needed work, old garden/tyres/weeding
