We highly recommend staying here. The feeling of luxury when you first enter was an excellent start to our wee break. The bedding was beautiful, the bathroom was high spec with luxurious towelling, and my wife loved the ecoya toiletries and diffusers. There is a separate lounge, with an amazing original fireplace( decorative), which we were told was original. The antique style furniture completed the whole look. Lots of board games and books to chose from too, along with brochures on local activities which we found very useful.
Waking up to birdsong was so peaceful under our feather duvet- we didn't want to leave!
We highly recommend staying here- it was relaxing, spacious and the hosts were very welcoming. We will definitely be back again when exploring the area- so much to see and do! We did the windows walk in Karangahake gorge which the host recommended, and next time will hire some bikes- a fantastic place to visit and stay....#5 stars!
