Only stayed one night, wish it could have been longer.
Welcoming hospitality, comfortable clean room, everything we needed for a short stay, beautifully kept gardens and the most glorious view.
Would love to return.

We had a lovely time over Kings bday weeknd.
It was a weekend away with my wife for her bday. Our arrival was a little challenging at night to find the driveway. But once we did it was an amazing place with stunning views out over the huraki gulf. Such a place to be and enjoy the beautifully kept gardens and the morening view was stunnning.
Thanks for making a bday celebration worth remembering.

Steep driveway
Beautiful grounds, worth a stroll. Challenging driveway. My check engine light came on so I am losing a day at the mechanic. It is very steep, your car will probably be fine, mine is very old. Twin room has one window which is at the entrance of another room so choose between privacy and natural light. Had issues with mosquitos, light switch near only one bed which doesn't have a nightstand. Overall beautiful property with a challenging room (twin), the other rooms seem better.
