Amazing estate with great wildlife around you. Was wonderful to have our own pool but the pool at the main house was also beautiful! Lots of activities on offer we did the kayaking at the lake next door which was a lovely experience

“A lovely hotel in a great setting.”
A luxurious property set in acres of scenic grounds. We enjoyed using our bikes to explore the property and after cooled off in our plunge pool. The rooms were very comfortable and well well proportioned. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

“Nice place but food and wine are a rip off”
Food and wine was extremely expensive for what they were , e.g a $10 Chilean Merlot marked up to $60 and a $20 NZ Marlborough marked up to $150 . The “special dining experience” was a $200 curry rice meal with one drink , total rip off

Beautiful place. Isolated from the town but the location is beautiful. You can ride bike around the rice field and lake. If you’re lucky see an elephant. The woman at the elephant centre was very nice and we learnt a lot! I am glad we stop for a chat. The diner experience was amazing! We booked the traditional diner with 27 dishes cooked traditionally in clay pot and open fire. I recommend this hotel!

“Fantastic stay, my only regret is that we didn't stay a day longer.”
Everything was perfect - the main mansion house is gorgeous, our pool villa was massive and nuzzled in a lovely quiet party of the estate where we benefitted from privacy and the sounds of the nature around us. Food was fantastic as was service. We went on an amazing horse ride into the lake, our guide took the best pictures!

“This stay made our honeymoon special”
Such a luxurious property, insane location and well looked after. It is also a lot bigger than booking.com suggests it is from the description. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and made the stay even more special.
