Absolutely loved the property, beautiful minimal batch with a stunning view from the deck/spaIt was quiet and the place allowed a great amount of sunlightGotta remember to watch for the numbers for the driveway as google takes you a bit far but that has nothing against the property itself, just google maps Definitely would recomend and definitely would stay again
My sister and two nieces stayed from Auckland. It was a wonderful break with treasured family. We only used the hot tub once as we were so busy. Highly recommend.
Communication and directions were good and welcome ideal. The hosts were great all stay, attentive but unobtrusive. E-bike supply was seamless and recommendations perfect. The views were superb and weather was kind.We had a great break and would recommend.
We used the house to explore Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park, but actually thought it would have been nice to have more time to also explore the area close by. The house is nice and spacy for two people with a great view from the living room sofa. It was calm and quiet and we were able to relax after the busy days outside. We had a great time there and would love to come again. Thanks Emma and Hayden also for the support to get our flat tyre repaired. The garage you recommended did an amazing job.
From the greeting, to the wonderful accomodation, you knew that you were a guest, not a customer. Mary & Paul provide everything that you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Great views from the deck and a walk around the farm highlight what a special place they have. We will be back.
I booked this for a birthday get-together with girlfriends and it did not disappoint. Fabulous place, stunning views and location, and excellent, friendly and very helpful hosts. Definitely an A plus effort! Loved all the thoughtful little touches, the unique venue and the adorable doggos! Unreservedly recommended.
Property is tastefully and thoughtfully equipped. Within easy driving distance of Moutere pub and various wineries. And of course, Mapua and Motueka. We had a most enjoyable several nights' stay. Thanks to Colleen.
