We were overwhelmed by the beauty of this place, surrounded by nature! The hilltop location and abundance of windows provided incredible views of the bay and the grounds. The accomodations were also oh so lovely and comfortable. Everywhere we looked inside and out was beautiful. We felt at peace and found it easy to work (remote workers) when we could take our eyes off the views. Takaka was super close and is our favorite New Zealand town. Leonie was wonderful as well, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend.
