I booked really last minute due to a mix up in dates and they were so accommodating.

Bit hard to tell at the bottom road junction which way to go.

"Beautiful warm and comfortable room, friendly host, would definitely stay again!"

9.0

Warm and comfortable, beautiful setting, views were amazing.

You could hear life noises from other parts of the property. Coughing, talking, but this may have been because the glazing was so good, no outside noises so inside the amplified

"Excellent, would stay again!"

10.0

A perfect spot to break my journey from Kaikoura to Nelson. Home from home, clean and comfortable.

The drive in was a bit tricky, steep gravel driveway might not be suitable for all cars.

Everything was good

Maybe a door between main house and bathroom would be good.

"Fantastische plek voor rustzoekers"

10.0

De rustige ligging met prachtige uitzichten op bergen en zee. Bij aankomst werden we verwelkomd door de twee honden van de familie. De kamer is smaakvol ingericht en bevindt zich in het woonhuis van de hosts, maar heeft wel een eigen toilet en douche. We mochten ook gebruik maken van de familiekeuken.

Niks!

"An excellent stay."

10.0

A super place to stay with beautiful views across the hills and towards the sea. Geoff met us on arrival and was really friendly. The room was nice, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was wonderful with an excellent shower. We took food and used their kitchen to make a meal. A normal, family kitchen so there’s everything you need. Could easily have stayed for several days. Good, safe parking for our motorcycles as you’re in the middle of nowhere! 😂 After the stony uphill there is a big flat, concrete yard to park in.

Nothing. It was all good.

"Lovely countryside stay during my road trip"

10.0

Beautiful comfy bedroom with dedicated spacious bathroom. Quality comfy bed with choice of pillows and quality linen. Nice finishing touches add to a perfect stay. The shower was great pressure & temp. The highlight is the view from the bedroom windows! Beautiful peaceful location amongst Marlborourgh wine region with fantastic views towards the sea. Sylvia & Geoff are perfect hosts and lovely people to meet. I also loved their two dogs who welcome you on arrival! Excellent value for money and I would love to return for another stay and thoroughly recommend a booking 👍

Nothing to dislike!
