The room is excellent in space, tidiness, and I love the front door balcony very much! We enjoyed the breakfast everyday outside for our 2 night stay. It is located next to a wheat farm and we observed a lota of good birds around the house! Also, the sheeps, alpacas, deers are all so cute! They all have a name but I forgot their names now.. When you got some feed for them, they were all look crazy and licking your hand.

This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!

This accommodation was amazing! Fantastic friendly host and the room was beautiful. Brilliantly styled to feel like we were holidaying somewhere in the islands. The garden and plants were beautiful and although the rooms are close together it felt very private. We loved the extra touches like the flowers on the towels on arrival. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely not hesitate to return!
