This is a wonderful place to stay, well away from the mayhem of Queenstown and alongside one of the most beautiful lakes in New Zealand. The garden is simply staggering... we thought it would be quaint, but this is something we simply hadn't seen before. The amount of work to create a garden like this is breath-taking. It took us a full hour to explore and that was just one walk around - we could have spent so much more time. Christy and Thomas are both charming. The room and all the facilities are quirky and memorable. Sound-proofing between the rooms is poor though, so bring your earplugs or hope for considerate guests, and it can get chilly at night. Given that the bathrooms are shared we thought it was a little bit expensive, but still absolutely worth it and so much better than Queenstown. Thank you Thomas and Christy for a lovely stay.
