5 star stay

What a gem!!! This was the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Very clean, quality built, and modern finishes. It was very well stocked, from trash bags, dishwasher soap, toilet paper, and body soaps. The place is amazing, so peaceful and quiet. The hosts are wonderfully responsive. The best part of our mornings was the check-in from Stella the farm dog, who just wanted a scratch and to lay in the sun on the deck. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit.

WONDERFUL!

Our monthlong stay at Te Muri Ridge was wonderful. We never got tired of the stunning five- kilometer drive from the main road through rural pasturelands with gorgeous glimpses of the ocean. Both the drive, the accommodations, the pool, and the hosts have that “wow” factor. The “barn” (it’s NOT a barn!) is beautiful and provisioned with everything and MORE. The area had plenty of interesting and beautiful places to explore for the month. Anna and Brian spoiled us with delicious homemade cakes, bread, and chutney, and a never-ending supply of their garden-fresh summer vegetables. They are kind, generous, thoughtful, and just the nicest people! Everything was just great!

86th Birthday getaway

Words and pictures don't do justice to this amazing property. It has to be experienced. The minute we turned into the driveway we saw the birthday banner and everything was on par. The place is immaculate. Brian was on hand to show us around and taught us to play pickleball which was so much fun. I think Stella was our cherry on the top. Her soulful eyes just melted our hearts and she was our constant companion. We miss her. We certainly would be returning for a soulful getaway. Thank you Brian, Anna and darling Stella for making our weekend so special. xxx

A piece of a paradise out in Mahurangi West - a stunner of a place with the most welcoming hosts.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Brian and Anna for allowing us to stay at this amazing property. You have made our weekend away both unforgettable and really enjoyable. Everything, absolutely everything was of the top notch quality. The property itself is a luxury. The hosts have gone far and beyond to add the most amazing touches to our say, such as a freshly baked home-made bread, a happy birthday decoration for my hubby, a complimentary bottle of wine, the birthday cake, the candles, etc. Our highlights would probably have to be the spa with the most breath-taking views, the great tennis courts that we made good use of, the evenings by the outside fireplace in the courtyard – AND the most picturesque walks that we took all around the property/ this area. Dear Anna and Brian – thank you so much for your warmth, your hospitality and for delivering the most exceptional service. We have thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and we would love to come back again. Kind regards, Aksana and Andrei.
