We were recently lucky enough to spend what ended up being a pretty special evening and morning at The Whare. What an amazing place..! The amount of work that has gone into refurbishing and presenting the old Cookhouse has obviously been substantial. From the moment you walk in the door you can tell It's been done with ultimate comfort in mind, has all the mod cons you could possibly want, while still manages to retain the feeling that you are in a station cookhouse that was built in 1914.
Annie prepared us a jaw dropping platter for our dinner, and had the wine chilling in the fridge for our arrival. We had a very relaxing evening sitting on the oversized couch in front of the roaring fire, then retired to what is possibly the biggest bedroom that either Chelsea or I had ever slept in! The bed fully lived up to all the hype we had read in other reviews, and was super comfortable. So after a great nights sleep we well fully refreshed and ready go on the farm tour with Alistair. (We cannot recommend this any more highly).
Both Chelsea and I were totally blown away by the cutting edge and ever evolving way Alistair approaches crop farming. And also just how advanced it has become. So massive thanks to him for taking time out of his Sunday morning to do that for us.
Overall this was an experience that both of us absolutely loved.
Thank so you much Annie and Alistair (& Will) for allowing us to experience the truly exceptional Whare.
We will be back!
