Customer Reviews

We had the most amazing 4 nights at this beautiful lodge. The host are warm and delightful and the food is some of the best we have ever had. Do yourself a favor and spend time here. The rooms are also gorgeous and the grounds unbelievable.

I absolutely loved my time here over the summer. It was a haven, an oasis, so peaceful and my favourite time visiting the South Island. Roz and Garaham are the best, very generous hosts and made us feel so welcome. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you so much for the delightful stay.

Had the privilege of staying here last weekend. It was a lovely experience. The room was spacious, very clean and tidy and wonderfully designed with lovely, thoughtful finishing touches. The bed was very comfortable. Graham our host, was very attentive and nothing was a problem. Food was great. Such a lovely, relaxing Environment - thank you
