A Sanctuary indeed! The best combination of privacy and interaction you could want. All the comforts of home in a classy private hotel-like suite with corresponding amenities. A great place to sleep in, chill over coffee or wine and read a good book rather than rushing off to the next attraction (although you could do that too). Their hospitality is warm, the conversations enlightening and their pets adorable! A great place to be at any juncture of your trip to NZ be it beginning, transition or end.
