Great wee spot over looking the rolling hills. Check in and check out was a breeze and the place was lovely and warm on a chilly evening.

We had the most beautiful, peaceful stay. The aesthetic is stunning, cosy, rustic and thoughtfully designed with lovely attention to detail.The tranquil environment was the highlight for us. It was the perfect getaway for my husband and I, with incredible sunrise views and total peace and quietEverything we needed was provided, including warm blankets for slow mornings on the patio and even a washing machineWe left feeling rested and refreshed, highly recommend for a serene escape. The visits from family cat and dog were a bonus!

Overall fantastic with thoughtfully furnished accomodation - real nice addition of complimentary dog overnight. Only comment of better signage at the gate or check in at the house first. Pretty minor considering the sunrise and night sky.

Fabulous accommodation thanks. Wanted a getaway for the weekend for myself and bestie. Was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend Mareva that you count the teaspoons on each checkout! They're fabulous! Also lucky enough the cows were in the home paddock both nights which always adds a great NZ touch :)Will be back for sure.
