A great experience. Awesome surroundings . Felt like a 50 star kiwi bach . House and surroundings are new and of the highest quality. Very very hardworking Lady has it all managed to perfection so we can just relax and enjoy in our own wing. Hundreds of board games and some books for rainy days. Thank you!!!!! Xxx

Hugely comfortable and well appointed place. Very good communication.

No space to really prepare even very light meals and actually even putting breakfast out was a bit awkward. Think it works better when host can let you use the main house a bit, which I think is usually how it works. We were unable to do this on this occasion. Do think it needs a bit of a surface and sink.

"We have relaxed weekend stay, with beautiful view in very comfortable place, Thanks!"

10.0

First of all, our host, Viv, was very kind and was very hospitable. Than I definitely have to highlight the location, which is the top of the hill, you have amazing view to the mountains on one side and the farming crops on the other side. Property itself is very nice and comfortable, everything is clean and tidy, you have pretty much a flat for yourself.

there’s nothing I can complain about!
