"Absolutely gorgeous"

10.0

Room was clean, had a great view, very big and the bed was really comfy. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and always happy to answer questions. We had dinner the first night and it was delicious and staff were really great, even offering to light the fire in their big lounge so we could just sit and chill out. There is a lot of charm in some of the old and original decor in the lounge which is kept up well and was super cool to have a look at. If you're looking for some real old school decor and a really friendly place to be, I totally recommend this place. The views are to die for!

We really enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in hostels in the city that were noisy and not that clean that cost more than this place, and we really felt like we were away from it all in comfort

The views were amazing. The bed was comfortable and the under floor heating was a bonus

The driveway was very steep and I'm glad we didn't meet anyone coming the other way as passing would be difficult

"Fabulous getaway with no long drive from Auckland"

10.0

It was a real surprise hidden away down a long bush-flanked drive which meant we had a bit of trouble finding it. But it was well worth it as the grounds and our room were immaculate and we loved our stay. The views were fantastic! We ate at the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. The icing on the cake was when a young couple dining next door came over to talk to us as both our parties were celebrating birthdays. 🙂

We asked for extra blankets and these were quickly provided. But it would have been nice if they had been in the room. Not a big deal.
