We absolutely loved our stay here. Was so quiet, so many wild birds flying around us and the view was amazing. We highly recommend this superb, unique property and we will come back longer next time.
Make sure you book ahead for dinner at Hapuku Kitchen to the Friday Supper Club. It was the best time ever.
