Excellent stay!

Everything was perfect, orange juice and Jacuzzi was to die for. Heaps of choices for breakfast. Lovely host Lee, she has outdone the place and very kind in assisting when needed.

If you are in need of a place away from the madding crowd, look no further. Off the beaten track, and then a bit. Beautiful scenery, fresh air and friendly hosts.

relaxing farm stay

Stunning views comfortable bed and a superb locally produced breakfast made for an excellent relaxing stay. Lee was an excellent friendly hostess providing good directions for finding the property and alerting us to the unmade road access. We didnt find this a problem as its a lovely part of rural New Zealand and just needs taking slowly
