A beautiful place to stay right across from the water with views of the mountains. The accommodation was very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was included which was very nice and well catered. Lovely, warm friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!

Friendly host. A bit quirky sort of place to stay. Not your usual accommodation. Stayed in House Truck. Great shower. Wagon looked amazing accomodation, bit envious of that as more roomy.

This accommodation was amazing! Fantastic friendly host and the room was beautiful. Brilliantly styled to feel like we were holidaying somewhere in the islands. The garden and plants were beautiful and although the rooms are close together it felt very private. We loved the extra touches like the flowers on the towels on arrival. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely not hesitate to return!
