Absolutely Incredible. The most amazing place we've stayed in New Zealand to date. The house is so gorgeous and comfortable, the location is perfectly situated in the most divine region and the whole experience was so relaxed and enjoyable. We'd been to Hawkes Bay previously and knew we wanted to be closer to where The Straw Bale house was situated but the house itself would have been enough to keep us happy! But for those wanting to explore the area, there's no better base than this house. Close to all the best vineyards, sights and more, it is perfect. Phil was there to greet us and throughout our trip was quick to respond with great recommendations for the area. We couldn't have had a better stay.
