Yes our overall stay was lovely. Great hosts. We were provided with breakfast too. Would recommend to anyone who wanted to have a quiet retreat but close to places like Geraldine and Timaru.

Patricia and Gerard are great hosts. Very comfortable room with all we needed to make our stay enjoyable including a range of home made foods for breakfast. The property is set in a beautiful garden created by Gerard over several years. The location is ideal for a break in the journey from Queenstown to Christchurch. I would happily recommend a stay at this location.

Amazing Stay

This was the exact getaway I was looking for. The sleepout was brand new and very tidy. Shower was amzing and the bed very comfy. The owner was so welcoming and friendly. Cannot express how great this stay was! Thank you Gerard and wife (sorry I can't remember your name)
