We stayed here on our way from Christchurch, to do the Humpridge track and again on the way home. It cd not have been a more perfect place, a little bit of luxury and Matt cd not have been more helpful. If you love old houses you will be in heaven. There were little treats left for us in our room and the breakfast was delicious with home made breads and preserves and plenty of choices for cereals /drinks etc. The beds were so comfortable and the linen really luxurious. On our 2nd visit, we rang ahead on our way home from finishing the Humpridge track and Matt had the hot tub ready for us as soon as we arrived. I wd absolutely recommend staying here,it was so relaxing.
