Art Deco Historic Home.

Lovely Art Deco Historic home. Quirky art work. Great location. A beautiful, spacious house with everything you need, fabulous views of the river. Comfortable beds. Suited our group of 6. Easy communication with host. Will stay at again.

With out a doubt the best place to stay

Our family were lucky enough to be able to return to this fantastic property for a second holiday. And once again, Craig and his family ensured we were able to turn up and just chill out. This property is so beautiful, during winter the fire keeps the whole house toasty warm, and the wood and everything you need to keep it going is right there for you (no having to trudge out to some shed in the cold to get more wood). The house is very well appointed with everything you might need. Our wider family from Gisborne love it when we stay out here too as there is so much room for everyone to come visit us. And waking up each morning to the view of the Matokitoki Valley cloaked in early morning fog below you with the sun coming up over the hills is absolutely stunning! I can’t recommend this property highly enough, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Craig for letting us stay again, definitely the first place we check availability for when heading to Gisborne.

Very comfortable stay

The hosts were very kind and helpful, and I had such a comfortable stay. The air con, very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen and outdoor table for eating/ coffee in the am were the highlights.
