We stayed in the Sea View Apartment on the second floor. This place was beautiful and very well equipped. It will likely rank up there with one of our favourite places to stay in New Zealand. I would highly recommend this place!!!

Nice and comfortable lounge, bedroom, bath room setting. Free wine tasting in small group(actually only us) was unexpected, and found truely premium Pinot /resieling which changed my perception of NZ wines. Enjoying a cup of tea at the table in the pergola with mountain view and vineyard near by. Missed out public wine tasting which should offer more bottles in the other building, well, probably another time. Staff in reception and restaurant are nice and helpful.

Location was absolutely breathtaking, loved that we could see animals out and about while we walked around. The spa was wonderful and the room was surprisingly warm and cosy considering its winter! We came for my husband’s birthday and was the icing on the cake of our trip! Great attention to detail too, like robes, slip ons, chair/tables that were easy to manoeuvre around for whatever you need! Perfect! Location, Vibe, Hot tub and cute lil cabin!

Loved the size of room and the bed. The giant spa bath inside was really good. Also enjoyed the buffet breakfast, good selection of cereal, yoghurt and pastries. The view was beautiful and watching the sunrise from the hot tub was beautiful. Nice to feel away from any main roads. Good to have spare towels in hallway if needed.
