Charming, cozy & comfortable.

We travelled NZ for 3 weeks and this was by far our favourite stay. Honestly, we could not fault it. From the cozy, homey room, to the beautiful garden outside - everything was so lovely. We booked it on a whim and didn’t have any expectations, but we will be booking here each time we come back.
