OMG what an amazing we gem! Matt was so friendly and accommodating of us and our dog. The grounds were amazing, the room was amazing and everything else was just all round amazing. I would highly recommend a stay here and we will for sure be back again. Thank you so much!
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I’ve stayed at some of the finest places in the world. There is not enough space to list all of amenities and complimentary services offered here. It is beautiful and you feel like a pampered guest of the aristocracy. You’ll just have to see for yourself. Best in the south island for sure. Hosts are great.
Hospitality and welcome excellent! Grounds are beautiful. It was my first time staying in this type of accommodation and truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended. My gratitude to the family hosts.
Great hosts and accommodation in a beautiful historic home with lovely gardens. Comfortable spacious room with very comfortable bed and mattress. Large bathroom with plenty of extras. Excellent breakfast plenty of choice. Couldn't ask for more
Host is a great guy and property is beautiful! Decor around the house is luxurious in a old victorian vibe.
Only downside is that bathrooms are abit far from rooms and the door was not very sound proof.
Other than that, it would be a great place to stay for a gettaway!
Friendly helpful host. Beautiful historic building with well-appointed warm rooms (complimentary drinks!) and pretty gardens. Breakfast options aplenty with great coffee and homemade breads & spreads. Thanks Matt!
A great welcome by Matt. Such a lovely place to stay with comfortable room, lovely food, lots to drink if so desired and in historical architecture.
Thank you Matt and family. We wish you well.
Can not rate this property highly enough. Magnificently restored 1914 property with all the little touches to make you feel pampered. Even comes with friendly black lab welcoming committee. Great host and wish we could have stayed longer in this peaceful spot.
