The cottage was so lovely and peaceful being set in extensive gardens and well away from the road. It was also close to many natural attractions - lots to explore around this area.
A couple of foot stools or easy chairs would make it more comfortable for lounging at night.
Beautiful bush views out every window but the bush was so tightly packed around the unit that it shut out too much sun, leaving a damp musty smell inside.
The garden paths were also beautiful but many spiked succulents were a hazard to legs.
The garden is wonderful - some amazing plants and sculptures. Interesting and beautiful.
In the cottage the facilities are mostly fine, but the settee isn't very comfortable, and is rather small even for small people like us. An additional armchair opposite the settee would be good, just for a choice of seating. Sometimes you want a change from sitting next to each other. It was good to have several heating options, as I'm sure it gets very cold there sometimes.
The standalone cottages are lovely, looking over the beautiful gardens. The musty smell was not so pleasant ⊠maybe time of the year?? We also had a wonderful meal at Maha and could just stumble back to our accommodation. I do apologise for the red hair dye. I know that it just washes out but I would not normally stay around from home so soon after having it done.
Was very nice and quiet, but also close to cafes shops and sightseeing.
Chalets are very comfortable and clean.
Would stay there again if passing through.
Delightful oasis, quiet and cosy cottage. We enjoyed walking around the subtropical gardens and discovering a host of fascinatingly plants and trees. Friendly and welcoming hosts.
We had a really great time here sitting on the porch watching the birds and rabbits. A perfect place to start our NZ journey on. Friendly and service minded staff.
What a beautiful place! Such a friendly environment, wonderful food & very accommodating (we asked for a fair bit of assistance) we felt right at home & didnât hesitate to make another booking before we left. Very fairly priced. Iâve already recommend to other travellers and will continue to do so. Thanks for a lovely stay & see you soon!
It is a beautiful place to stay, and absolutely fullo credit to the Booth family for what they have achieved. The restaurant on the site is a beautiful location for a meal.
I do think that the Sculpture trail is not of a good standard. Staying guets do not pay to do the trail, but it does not warrant a charge anyway.
