We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.

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!

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!
