Gracious and unobtrusive hosts

Hazel and Lawrence are gracious and unobtrusive hosts. This is the 2nd time Hazel has hosted our golf group and we will very likely stay there again in 3 years time if the tournament is back at Muriwai. The property and the facilities catered very well for our group of 6 adult males on a golfing trip and was an ideal place to rest up each evening after golf. Thank-you.
