There is still the odd tell-tale sign that this magnificent old building used to be a monastery. There are two guestrooms in the house sharing a bathroom, and two guestrooms in an adjoining wing both with their own separate entries and ensuite facilities. This configuration combined with quiet verandahs and numerous garden areas lets you be as private or as sociable as you wish.
Breakfast is a feature here - the hosts really spoil their guests.
A landscape designer, Robert has created a large garden full of interesting and rare plants including a superb collection of old-fashioned roses. Highland cattle, budgies and horses share the quiet, peaceful rural four hectares which border the Waikato River. There is even a small beach at the bottom of the garden.
