This place is the best kept secret in all of New Zealand! Sitting in the middle of an absolutely beautiful 360 view of luscious mountains is this piece of heaven. Driving in we felt like we were in a Disney film. We were greeted by peacocks, yes, you heard right; peacocks, and the ever so lovely Amanda and her Mother. Wonderful hosts, so kind and accommodating and going the extra mile to make our first trip to New Zealand incredible! The beds were the most comfortable on our trip (we stayed in 4 others across the North Island) in the beautiful, spacious, inviting and relaxing space we stayed in. Not to mention the awesome breakfast. We even winded down in the large living space to some music provided. We will be telling everyone we come into contact with that they must stay here. We only wished we’d booked for longer. Also, it’s only an hour from Wellington- worth the drive to go see the beautiful country side!
