One of our favorite stays in New Zealand. The room is fabulous, the views are stunning, and the property is unbelievable. Jo was a fabulous host and a beautiful soul, it was like staying with friends. The gardens are so lush, you can spend a day getting lost through the secret pathways while picking fresh fruit from the trees and soaking in the beauty that surrounds you, from the mountain peaks to the breathtaking views of the ocean…. A true paradise, very hard to leave.
