A beautiful place with a great owner. We had one night stay on our trip through South Island, but it feels like at home, the place is peaceful and quiet, the little detailed deco in the room is unique and home feeling. Breakfast room is such a great idea to meet with the people who staying there. Nice scenic walks nearby, certainly will stay again next time back to the area.

The property is tired and needs some work. It could do with a good dose of TLC. There is no air-con in the rooms and the furnishings are basic. The included breakfast was also very basic. The location is wonderful and you trade property beauty for scenery beauty.
