Friendly host who immediately made us feel comfortable. The accommodation is set in a beautiful location with views over the countryside. Beautiful accommodation. Comfortable and cool in the heat of the summer, with everything you need. A home away from home.
What a wonderful place this is. It is so calm and serene with a stunning outlook over the surrounding farms. The place is a great size, it literally has everything you need (the kitchen is very well stocked and there are lovely Eco-store bathroom products to use, plus there was fresh milk, towels, a dishwasher, and washing machine), it is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. There is a separate indoor dining room as well as your own deck to eat outside and soak in the sun and country views. There is an off-road place to park your car. The owners are lovely and made the check-in process very easy, especially as we were arriving quite late at night. They were also very accommodating for us. We loved it here and will definitely stay here again if we are up in this part of the country! Highly recommended!
We had a super time away. Great property - well appointed and beautifully presented. We got milk and fresh eggs on arrival - lovely.
The views were great and I enjoyed the guided tour around the property.
We had fun exploring the Franklin district. Went to Port Waikato, Awhitu Peninsula, explored the banks of the Waikato River and much more.
Really enjoyed my brief stay here. Very comfortable . Clean, tidy and new. Will definitely stay again. Thank you :-)
