Really lovely location in a vineyard. The grounds were very pretty. Owner met us there and offered to take the cover off of the pool if we wanted. If it had been warmer, we would have taken him up on it. There was a bottle of wine and a nice selection of fresh fruit, some juice and breakfast foods to prepare in the room (yogurt, cereal, some pastries to toast). Nice big bathroom with a great shower. Comfortable bed and lots of space.

This was by far the most expensive place we stayed during our trip. We could hear the guests in the next unit through the connecting door in the kitchen. We were there on a Saturday and there was either a shooting range nearby, or an adjacent farmer was shooting. Maybe to scare birds away? There was a constant volley of loud reports during the afternoon and into the evening which detracted from the beautiful, peaceful setting.

Self check-in so we did not encounter any staff members, but instructions were emailed to us and super clear. Beautiful location and even more beautiful accomodations -- we stayed at the 2 bedroom Riesling Room, and it was so clean and very modern. One of the nicest places we stayed in NZ. Bathrooms were pristine. A nice spread of self serve breakfast items, cheese, and wine were also upon arrival. Small kitchenette was thoughtfully well equipped. Even though NZ has a ton of sandflies and mosquitos, it felt like this place had none! Super comfortable, spacious, and modern. Bedding and sheets were top notch. Bathtub in the 2 bedroom option was sublime. Highly recommend.

Soundproofing wasn't the best, we could kind of hear other occupants -- nobody was noisy except us, we have a toddler (sorry!). We slept incredibly well. Not a ton of immediate food or restaurant options nearby (10-15 minutes to great options in Amberley), but that's expected of a beautiful peaceful getaway location.

We have stayed here before and knew what to expect. The property is in a secluded location and not near any shops or restaurants but generous provisions are supplied including hearty continental breakfast supplies, wine, cheese & biscuits. The decor is very pleasant and comfortable.

This time only there was no hairdryer provided and no tea towels unlike previous visits. Not the end of the world but things one would expect.

Location is beautiful Small units can be interlinked so we were five people all in a bigger feeling house Beds very comfortable

Perhaps we could have done with a cooker but we did know there was none there and we are out in Amberley two nights which was excellent Continental breakfast was provided

We had two beautiful rooms with kitchen facilities. They were both really lovely, very comfortable and clean and the little touches made them perfect. The beds were very comfortable and the outlook very quiet, so a wonderful nights sleep. The continental breakfast was ample with a good choice of tea, coffee, cereal, fruit, yoghurt etc. we would definitely recommend and would love to stay again and for longer.

A great place to stay in the Waipara, the location is great and just a short cycle from the wineries nearby. The rooms were lovely and very clean. Wonderful facilities and great complimentaty breakfast. Very peaceful location in the vines.

Nothing

The service is fantastic and second to none , Brian was there with whatever we need for the stay and has awesome recommendations for places to eat , trust him for his food choices!

The rooms had a lot of upholstery and people allergy will not be comfortable in the property.

Located in a really peaceful setting amongst the vines - just what we needed after a month away and the hustle and bustle of travelling for that period of time. our room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed and we really appreciated the wonderful breakfast that had been left for us

we would have preferred a Queen bed - as in all the other properties we stayed at during our holiday, however this is not meant to be a criticism as the double bed was really comfortable

Beautiful room (Riesling) and the owner had really thought of so many nice touches including a lovely bottle of their wine and a very tasty continental breakfast pre-prepared in the room on our arrival. Exceptionally clean and would definitely stay again!

Absolutely no complaints! But if I had to say something here, it would be the directions to the house. We drove completely past it as we thought it was a different property. Thankfully we found our way and all was great!

The location was lovely. It was very peaceful and relaxing, especially out on the balcony as the sun was setting. The bedroom was beautiful and the shower was amazing.

The only thing that was a bit disappointing was some of the cushions on the outdoor furniture were quite wet so we couldn't sit outside and enjoy the sunset.
