This is an exceptional property. We ADORED our time here, and we most strongly recommend it to anyone. Two cautions:
1- it's at the top of a hill, and the views are to die for - just amazing. But, if you plan on walking or (like us) riding our tandem up from Napier to the house, it's a cardio workout - in fact, we walked the tandems up the hill. However, if you're in a car - zero problems.
2-we enthusiastically jumped into the pool - and immediately popped right back out - it's not heated, and being California wimps....
The location is perfect (but do see caution 1). The kitchen is superbly stocked, the grounds are just amazing, the history is palpable, and it was just a fabulous experience.
