Quails Rest is a wonderfully secluded stylish retreat with endless views. We loved our time here- you are in the middle of the countryside with just the mountains, birds and clean air for company. It was so restful! Sonja and Jim were great hosts, with thoughtful touches of cookies and freshly laid eggs waiting for us, and super-prompt responses to our messages. If we ever get the opportunity to come back to this part of New Zealand we will come back for a longer stay.
