An absolutely wonderful stay. Room size was huge, guest book was a win. Loved that it had some everyday Te Reo, how to pronounce and use. Had other 'kiwi specific' language too. Timber used in construction of room was named , a beautiful touch. Attention to detail unsurpassed. Road noise is not unbearable nor the trains but if you require absolute silence to sleep you may struggle. Grounds were impeccable.

The first room had a great view and a small veranda, but no air conditioning. Second room was nice and cool, but average look. Staff was pleased to accommodate. Laundry was very helpful and soap was free.

Nice place to stay, trains passing a bit noisy, but none during the night which was a relief. Would definitely stay here again. Owner went out of her way to help us answer a question about the Timber Trail.
