Stunning location. Beautiful gardens and ‘secret’ pathways. Very quiet. Comfortable beds and powerful shower! Beautiful lounge and dining area and well set up with pool table. Would be great for a group but also relaxing for a couple. Wonderful stay.

The location was remote and beautiful!!! There were some easy walking paths with lovely sites. The rooms were well appointed, beds extremely comfortable. The common areas are also inviting. Hosts John and Samara were gracious and welcoming.

Beautiful setting in amongst the rain forest, and very close to Pukeiti Gardens.

Magnificent seclusion, down 2km of unpaved road and into.tje forest, though its grounds are beautiful. Magnificent property. The charming owner welcomed us and showed us the common areas which a longer stay would have allowed us to use. More than adequate cereal, toast and fruit for breakfast....

Great gem of a spot from the busy city life. Its a haven, if you looking for a tranquil getaway. Breakfast was continental & suitable for the start of the day. The location is heavenly
