The Bale House truly is an absolute treasure - wish we could have stayed there longer! Beautiful panoramic vistas, loved the tuis on the deck, fireplaces, flowers, decor, ambience and aesthetics... everything was so comfortable, arty and gorgeous!! Took so many photos, lots of fishing in the river, Sunday morning trip to the farmers market...concert... and had a fabulous family time in such a beautiful environment, loved the African/New Mexican/ Hawkes Bay style - we'd love to stay again sometime :)Thank you Phil and Nicky for the warm welcome and most amazing long weekend ever! Big smiles Vicky and whanau x
