Six stars, at least! Mary's Heritage Home surpassed every other place we stayed at in NZ, including several that were rated "5 stars" by guests.

The 19th century house, out in the country right next to Peel Forest, is stunning inside and out. The rooms (ours was a double) are impeccably neat and comfortable, and the sitting rooms are wonderful, with log fires burning as required. Mary loves cooking & entertaining, so if she offers to cook dinner for you (extra charge, of course), we recommend you accept! We were so fortunate to land at Mary's just in time to celebrate our 40th anniversary - a truly memorable stay.
