The rooms are very spacious. Lovely views across the farm and it was beautiful sitting on bean bags out on the lawn with a drink. Great magazines plus a huge selection of books for reading and we were provided with an amazing gift basket of goodies.

We loved the open fire and wood burning stove which added to the experience. The location was perfect for our journey from Queenstown to Christchurch. The welcome basket full of local products for breakfast/snacks was a lovely surprise and a great touch - we particularly enjoyed the homemade cookies! Thank you for a lovely memorable stay. We would certainly return and recommend this stay! ##### David Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Georgian Downs Racetrack](https://www.expedia.ca/Georgian-Downs-Racetrack-Hotels.0-l6134343-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Cook-Hotels-The-Hermitage-Hotel-Mount-Cook.h179149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near University of Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/University-Of-Victoria-Hotels.0-l6072293-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hilton-Toronto.h900502.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Waterloo](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterloo-Hotels.d7392.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Langdon-Hall-Country-House-Hotel-Spa.h528380.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Medicine Hat (YXH) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxh/yeg/medicine-hat-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Brandon (YBR) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ybr/yxx/brandon-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Fort McMurray (YMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ymm/edmonton-to-fort-mcmurray) > > [Flights from Palmira (CLO) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/clo/yul/cali-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yeg/winnipeg-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/ywg/thunder-bay-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Tallinn (TLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/tll/calgary-to-tallinn) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Activities ### Packages > [Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/109/Maldives) > > [Shawnessy Shopping Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Shawnessy-Shopping-Centre-Southwest-Calgary.d6290486.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Novi Beograd](https://www.expedia.ca/Belgrade-Novi-Beograd.dx3000662231)
