The loft rooms are a great idea! Still part of the house but private enough to not worry about making a noise coming back from anywhere. The facilities were excellent in the room.

The room was immaculate and very well maintained with the added benefit of a small kitchenette, which was... More

Not only did they serve amazing breakfasts in the morning, they gave us great advice on restaurants in town, hiking trails around the lake and on neighboring peaks, and other spots to see in New Zealand. Our morning conversations was the reason why we chose to... More

This was a very relaxing and peaceful place to spend 4 nights of our honeymoon.

His delicious breakfasts and friendly personality added a... More

The room appeared brand new and was decorated tastefully with a very modern feel. It contained the largest and most comfortable bed we slept on during our entire time traveling in New Zealand. The view from the balcony... More

The room was modern, beautifully furnished and equipped and immaculately clean. He gave us a bottle of wine to share with our son and... More
