We spent a wonderful, relaxing New Year's in Hoturoa at Montrose Estate. The house was set up perfectly for a group of our size with excellent facilities throughout, particularly in the open-plan kitchen and lounge. There was plenty of space indoors and out for us to relax, both together and individually, and lots of comfy chairs to curl up in with a book. The walk down to and around the nearby lake is lovely, and being able to watch the sun set over the Rakaia Gorge was pretty special. Robert and Jane were wonderfully attentive hosts from first arrival right through to checking out on our last day. Thank you!
