We spent just one night on this property and loved it! It was calm, serene, clean and had all the basic amenities. The animals on the property are adorable, especially the Alpacas! The host is extremely courteous and helpful. He helped us store our bags on the property before and after check in, so we are very grateful for that. The only inconvenience was that that the room was extremely cold (we visited in July, which is winter in New Zealand). The host advised us to put the AC on heating mode and while we did that on the highest temperature possible, the room did not heat up much. So I am guessing the insulation is not great. However, this will not be an issue over the summer months, which is NZ's main tourist season. Overall, I highly recommend the property and would love to go back again!

Easy access from Rt 1s. But open and closing the gate was a job. We had a pleasant stay overall. But it was really hot for few hours when we checked in suggested time, due to direct sun and AC was off. Fridge had 4 slices of bread in a box with 2 small butter packets along with small amounts loose cereals and milk in containers with lids. Usually we see them in store packed and sealed with regular branding. It was nice to see a cow, sheep and Alpacas around. Good view in the back.

I was absolutely charmed by the alpacas on our patio when we woke up in the morning. Very pastural setting with sheep in the fields lining the driveway and cattle and ducks in the fields further out. The room was large and already stocked with the breakfast food for us. The only improvement I can suggest is better signage, as the road is a busy one and we missed the turn into the driveway. This B&B ranked very high in the many places we stayed in New Zealand. So very lovely!

lovely BnB with great view and cute alpacas.
We stayed in Honeymoon Studio Suite with a front porch. The suite is spacious and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed mountain view and watching moon at night. It was so fun to have breakfast with the alpacas and other animals around the house. The host was very kind and very friendly. We had a very pleasant stay.

Cute place, fun to see the alpacas
Very cute place! It was so fun to have breakfast with the alpacas and other animals just outside the window. The host was very kind and accommodating. He had a variety of yogurt, bread and jam and other simple breakfast foods. We stayed the main house. The only downside was the shared bathroom. Depending on how many guests are at the house there can be lengthy waits for the bathroom.

What I liked about the property was its uniqueness. It was hard to see the sign, you did have to open and close a gate to get in and out, and there were animals in the yard, but that was part of its charm. The room was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was tasty and got me through the morning and the cookies were delicious.
