Calm, serene, beautiful. Perfect place for a getaway out of the city. We loved being in amongst the bush, the river and the native birds. Highlights were the kereru and piwakawaka right outside! The waterfall walk was lovely through the native bush along the river. The place was warm, clean, and had lots of high quality books, magazines, and games to enjoy as well. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a break away in nature. Thanks for having us in your slice of paradise!
