Dec 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Frances and Gerry were welcoming hosts and what a beautiful spot to share. It was secluded - pure peace and tranquility- with a magical view from the balcony. I loved the night sky view from bed too. The added bonus of the red light therapy sauna was appreciated. A perfect few days of total relaxation - and where I would love to return to at some point. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d941cbfc-07d0-40e7-a08e-ef916184b4bc-1767119794066.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/022259f8-5eb7-417c-b719-b44f259dbd10-1767119791520.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c06a59e3-9480-476e-94fd-b962873804ae-1767119792067.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/512fc720-e8a7-46d0-96a0-282c14ed980c-1767119792759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Margaret FELICITY B.

Out in the country with a view from our upstairs room out over the valley. Private deck area with Kereru in the trees beside us. Frances even left us with feijoas, homemade muesli, yoghurt bread, milk and spreads which was not expected. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise ##### Graeme H.
