Gorgeous place, decorated with impeccable taste. The area is also very, very beautiful, and not far from Masterton at all. Loved the ducklings playing in the puddles and the beautiful gardens around the house. Although we didn't have a baby with us, this place is PERFECT for families with wee ones. It has a nice changing table, cool toys, and the fireplace is safely behind a wooden gate. All in all, one of the best stays we've had in NZ.
