The grounds were beautiful. There were many fun activities to partake in during our short stay. The breakfast was quite delicious and the women preparing it were also very lovely.

Manager asked us to leave common space for a private party. We only wanted to enjoy the living room for a few minutes. It was a bit rude as we traveled across the globe to experience the hotel. The amount of small flies at night that stormed the room were astonishing!

All was perfect: the view, the room, the living room... The house is charming and the personnel is very nice. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner was served in a very warm setting.

When the car park in front of the hotel is full, there is an extra car park but this one is small and not very convenient to manœuvre

Beautiful and animals!!! Amazing place and excellent food! All amenities you could think of. Breakfast was amazing and Niki was great!

Massage wasn’t the highest quality like one would expect at a place like this. Was ok.

Exceptional location, service, with friendly welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in New Zealand. Everything was immaculate and so well done. Getting to pet the ponies and sheep and donkeys while enjoying the beautiful view of the lake was a bonus!

Stunning views, service and accommodation was amazing, food was lovely, breakfast was fab. Close to town and the sea.

We had a ground floor room, the room above was quite noisy - they could do with some sound proofing.

Good shower with heated floor and mirror in bathroom. Very spacious. Super comfortable bed. Breakfast was fantastic and dinner very nice. Feeding the local sheep and donkeys!!

Not sound proofed. Can hear people in next room, creaking floorboards as people walk by or use the stairs outside the room. Going a little too far with the markup on alcohol in the restaurant.

Staff were excellent, breakfast was exceptional, location is beautiful. We ate in town so cannot rate the restaurant.

Our room was at the back of the property and during the day there was annoying music playing either from a neighbouring property or from below in the hotel

This was a repeat visit for us after 6 years. We even had same cottage. The views, service, food and wine are wonderful. A real treat

One of the unique selling points of our last visit was the 4 course dinner with chance for pre dinner canapés with other diners which was a lovely opportunity to chat with other guests making it more of a “ house party “ atmosphere. We missed that element this time

I cannot fault one single thing about this property. It definitely exceeding our expectations! The staff are simply superb and the accommodation and grounds are exceptional. You feel like a guest at someone’s home here. The food is excellent, they know quality and it’s wonderful to see the veggie garden is used so well. The views are spectacular and the location was perfect for us. I was happy to be a couple of kilometers out of the main town. I would return in a heartbeat.

Nothing

Pretty much everything. We took a risk taking young kids on a luxury holiday however it paid off!! Maybe if it wasn’t for covid we might have gone to Fiji but we decided to stay in NZ instead and we had an awesome time. Highly recommend indulging in the 4 bedroom villa! The staff and chef were all amazing. They completely accommodated the children as well without disturbing other guests which I was worried about offering us separate dining on our request! Just loved it and will be back.

Gosh it’s hard to find anything but my young kids would have liked traditional ice cream flavors for dessert as have rather simple pallets (loved the spaghetti though)
