This is a lovely place to unwind. The setting is beautiful, the gardens and the nikau forest that leads to the river are a haven for tui, piwakawaka and kereru. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed it very much.
For a longer stay I would want to be able to cook in the kitchen, but apart from a microwave and a toaster, there are no cooking facilities, so I would recommend Martin's place for a weekend, or a midweek break.
