Stayed Feb 26, 2019We were greeted by Mike, the property owner, who showed us to the guest house, which is on a separate tract of land from the main house (where Mike and Anne live). We had the entire house to ourselves, which had 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen and dining area, shower room (with a washer/dryer), and patio. The fridge was stocked with fresh plums and peaches, straight from the trees on the property. The views from the house are amazing. At the gate of the property, we were greeted by several cows, who added to the ambiance. The only downside was that we wished that we could have stayed longer.

Stayed Aug 16, 2024We wanted a quiet weekend away and that’s just what we got. The weather wasn’t so good so didn’t do much but the wee house and facilities were all that we needed. The 3 of us all had good walk to the gate and back with our dog getting into the stream, he was happy to have the space to roam free

Stayed Jul 16, 2024Lots of space around this rural home to get away from it all with our small dog. Well equipped. I loved the big claw-foot bath for an evening soak. We also had a fun time getting lost in the hedge maze! Glad the weather was relatively mild for July.

Stayed Apr 7, 2024We loved our week here. The house is lovely and has everything you need plus more. It is warm and cosy and lends itself to red wine and a good book. The only sounds are animals and bird life, just what was needed. Thank you both for a great holiday, we will be back.

Stayed Jan 13, 2024Anne and Mike are the loveliest hosts and this is the most peaceful country setting -perfect for holidaying with a dog: a tidy, comfortable and well-equipped farm-house set in a large, fenced paddock...... a tree-lined drive to enjoy wandering along as you walk to feed the eels in the stream....a wonderful rustic gallery holding Anne's incredible artworks.....an easy drive to Motueka and Kaiteriteri..and huge starry night skies to enjoy. We had a fantastic holiday and Anne and Mike were even kind enough to give us beautiful fresh vegies from their garden. Thanks so much and we look forward to returning soon!!
