This place is a gem. I took a bit of a risk taking my elderly parents here on a road trip but totally paid off. It is exactly how it is described as a step back in time. True Kiwiana and mum and dad loved listing to Engelbert Humperdinck and co on the record player. Beautiful spaces to sit outside. Kath and Dan are true Kiwis and were available and engaged and really added to the experience. My father is not so mobile so Dan even put up a safety rail while we were there just for him (which helped after the small whiskey tasting). Accommodation is retro and simple however the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend.
