Beautiful setting with gorgeous gardens. Very clean comfy rooms. Awesome breakfast. The hosts did a great job of communication. We enjoyed our hikes and the sheep mustering & shearing demonstrations. Several local wineries nearby.

The long gravel road to get there but it wasn’t a problem.

This was a unique New Zealand experience to stay on a sheep farm but in such lovely accommodations. The suite was beautiful in every way and Karen's hospitality in showing us around the farm was wonderful. Recommend to anyone wanting to experience real New Zealand lifestyle
