It was wonderful. It was a late night arrival after a stormy drive and such a pleasant welcoming. Too cold to try the pool. We were greeted by the owners upon arrival and also saw them when leaving who were very pleasant to chat with, as was the dog that carried a rubber boot around. Everything was modern and easy to use. Of the highlights were the home made bread along with jam and fresh farm eggs left for us, and awaking to see lambs just outside the windows with cattle not far in the pasture. Would recommend to anyone seeking a rural stay in the area. Way better experience than a motel!

Wonderful 2 night base

Serenity is the perfect description for the lovely home to stay in. We were greeted by a gorgeous four legged girl with a red band gumboot as a welcome gift. Meeting the owner was like meeting a old family member. Having the home baked bread, fresh eggs, and homemade jam along with Tea Leaf tea was a winner. Its a great place to stay, we are coming back.

Convenient country get-away

Nice property, and good location between Greytown and Carterton, with peaceful views of sheep in the paddocks, and of hills beyond. Set back from SH2, so easy to find, but not noisy. Lovely friendly family hosting, and fresh home baking and eggs were a real treat. Kids enjoyed the books, board games, and fort in the garden 😀
