The place was much better than shown on pictures. We said "wow" several times when we arrived and checked in. The room has a panorama view of the expansive vineyard with mountains as a backdrop. Even the bathroom has a view. It is lovely to sit at the porch or lay in bed and just enjoy the view. Just couldn't get tired of that view. We also liked to witness the indegenous birds randomly wandering about in Owen's lawn. A pond is right next door with little ducks swimming in. Just priceless. We enjoyed the walk in the vineyard and the fruits orchard since it was not the harvest season. We like its location. Close to Cromwell where we can buy fresh peaches and cherries, the vineyard region and close to the beautiful gorge and a driving distance to Queenstown. For us, it was the perfect relaxing stopover from our drive from Mt Cook to Queenstown airport. But next time we eould definitely stay here longer. It can easily be someone' s flat for an entire month of retreat. The place has all one needs. Clean and tidy. Good bedding. Breakfast options were plentiful for us, television, internet, wotking table, washing machine, iron etc and it is very spacious. Owen and Barry were very communicative and so eager to help and host whilst leaving us lots of privacy. Very kind and prompt at responding. We love the stay. It completes our NZ experience. Thank you.
