If you like something a little different to your standard hotel stays then you have to check this out. It was so incredibly peaceful. The views of Mt Taranaki as the clouds come and go around it are amazing, and on a clear night the stars are so bright. But my absolutely favourite part was spending an excessively long time laying in the outdoor bath with a whiskey (or two) just watching the world go nowhere. The bed is super comfortable - the first time we've liked a bed better than our own. The fire is so warm and comforting at night. Everything is so well decked out and considered including quality towels and linen. We loved it.
