"Everything is amazing! We had just flown in to Auckland from London UK and it was an easy drive up there and absolutely worth the effort. Stunning spot, wonderful accommodation, terrific food and lovely staff. The best possible start to our holiday."

"No hassle check in and fantastic little cottage. definately stay there again. A little mishap with no hot water to start the day but found the gas bottle was empty, so switched bottles. "

"Here is the initial message that I sent that I have not received any correspondence from… The property was not acceptable. It is described as an entire home that is only shared with guests of your party. That is not what is provided. It is a bedroom with an attached bathroom. That is part of an occupied house. The fridge in the room is filthy and quite noisy making it difficult to sleep. The shower screen is filthy. Hair on the basin in the bathroom. There is a tv in the room. Not a smart TV however, nor any antenna or channel services connected to it. So it essentially a wall adornment. The towels provided are quite old and of terrible quality, frayed at ends. The “home” also has quite an odour about it. Presumably from the cooking of the hosts or residence of the home. Not a smell that should be bestowed on guests. Might be fine for some, but I find it quite repulsive. It is also very prominent in the bedding. A very unpleasant experience. There should be minimum standards to be able to provide accommodation. And this would be below acceptable"

"Wonderful quiet place, where you don’t feel people overtop of you, but still close to town."

"We started in a questionable way but it was immediately dealt with by getting another room .The room assigned had not been cleaned yet .The next 2 nights were great ."

"We had a lovely stay in the barn - plenty to see around the property to keep entertained and relaxed. Kids enjoyed using the dingee in the pond and being able to take our dogs was a bonus."
