Comfortable and homely

This was a short, two night, stay. Check in was very simple, the room was exactly as described. We loved the homely atmosphere with a beautiful view over farmland. There was everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and most importantly, a very comfortable bed.

Kissing alpaca right outside your door!

The apartment was located on a farm. We woke up to alpaca outside our room and the view was lovely. The room was comfortable and the host was gracious. Our only issue was the lack of reliable wifi. It was hit and miss.

I was surprised by the amount of farm animals at the property but they were all lovely to interact with. Theres an alpaca there who will give you a kiss but be careful he will also nibble you if you allow it.

Disliked: Staff & service
In general on first appearances the property and location seemed fine - a farm stay was what i expected. As i initially parked a man came out and in broken English pointed to a sign on left door of the property which had my name written on a strip of lined paper. You have to move your car and park in front of door. After i had manouvered the car he showed me into the room and where he had left the key. The furnishings were nice, no kitchenette and the bathroom was that and storage ironing board. In the main room there was a sideboard unit with cereals and coffee/tea and sugar all in containers. In the fridge there was milk, and in sealed boxes 2 yogurts and 4 slices of bread. In another there was butter and conserves. The expedia advertising had mentioned continental breakfast to be served with a selection of pastries. So i was expecting a breakfast that was hosted, not a make it yourself with what we provide! I then noticed inside the jar of granola INSECTS roaming around. Non of the containers had been wiped or cleaned or it seemed not to have been checked for freshness of cereals. The bathroom sink was not clean. An ingrained circle around the plug hole showed lack of care. There was long dark hairs all over one soft chair. The front door blind was very stiff and was fraying and needed attention. The alpacas were lovely neighbours, living next to the property in the owners garden. I enjoyed watching them.The outside space was uninviting. No contact with hosts!

We spent just one night on this property and loved it! It was calm, serene, clean and had all the basic amenities. The animals on the property are adorable, especially the Alpacas! The host is extremely courteous and helpful. He helped us store our bags on the property before and after check in, so we are very grateful for that. The only inconvenience was that that the room was extremely cold (we visited in July, which is winter in New Zealand). The host advised us to put the AC on heating mode and while we did that on the highest temperature possible, the room did not heat up much. So I am guessing the insulation is not great. However, this will not be an issue over the summer months, which is NZ's main tourist season. Overall, I highly recommend the property and would love to go back again!

Easy access from Rt 1s. But open and closing the gate was a job. We had a pleasant stay overall. But it was really hot for few hours when we checked in suggested time, due to direct sun and AC was off. Fridge had 4 slices of bread in a box with 2 small butter packets along with small amounts loose cereals and milk in containers with lids. Usually we see them in store packed and sealed with regular branding. It was nice to see a cow, sheep and Alpacas around. Good view in the back.

I was absolutely charmed by the alpacas on our patio when we woke up in the morning. Very pastural setting with sheep in the fields lining the driveway and cattle and ducks in the fields further out. The room was large and already stocked with the breakfast food for us. The only improvement I can suggest is better signage, as the road is a busy one and we missed the turn into the driveway. This B&B ranked very high in the many places we stayed in New Zealand. So very lovely!

lovely BnB with great view and cute alpacas.

We stayed in Honeymoon Studio Suite with a front porch. The suite is spacious and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed mountain view and watching moon at night. It was so fun to have breakfast with the alpacas and other animals around the house. The host was very kind and very friendly. We had a very pleasant stay.
