    There was a few minor small issues but easily sorted

    The property was well set out and each individual unit had their own space. Was great for us and we had our own rooms. We had the unit in Winter and the heating was good and very quickly turned on

    We did have a bit of an ant problem with any food left out but it wasn’t a major problem and there was insect spray to kill them.

    Lovely clean modern Bach with lovely views. Private. Very comfy beds. Lovely gas fire - good heating in main house and sleep out. Bottled water provided every day. Loved that we could borrow tennis racquets free.

    Someone with I guess fresh linnens was parked in front of our units livingroom with running engine at 9 am. She sat there for at least 15 minutes. We kind off got the idea she was waiting for us to leave as we were the only guests in the section.

    Very spacious place, surrounded by lovely gardens. Very friendly staff and the fireplace was very welcome with the rain. We loved it so much we already booked for our way back.

    I love coming here, it’s such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Michael is lovely, helpful and very welcoming. The chalets are spacious, cosy, and perfect for families. They are lovely and warm in the winter, with the fireplace going and watching the sunset over the vineyard and surrounding landscape. Thank you!

    The whole setting and vibe was awesome and we would be coming more often now. Also we would like to compliment Michael for setting the right room temperature for us prior to our arrival. You don't see this sort of hospitality anywhere.

    There was nothing that could be improved. Everything was just perfect. We wished we could stay longer and will definitely be going back.

    Great location. Amazing views and so peaceful. Loads of native birds singing and flying by. The 'bach' was so cosy and comfortable with both a fire and a heat pump. So relaxing!!

    The Villas are beautiful! Felt private, beautiful views. Comfortable and quiet. Perfect for any sized families or a couple. We loved the pool. Perfect for any time of year! We can’t wait to come back in winter and stay cozy with the fireplace! Perfect location, close to markets and town centre. And at a good price point too. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, thank you!

    We absolutely loved our stay. From the early check in time given, thank you Michael to the time we left. The Bach had plenty of space for the two of us and the grounds were immaculate. The pool onsite fantastic and we made the most of it daily. Super relaxing space and had everything we needed. Quick drive to both Matakana and Warkwoth which was very handy. Our first stay here and will now be a regular spot for us to get away, reconnect and unwind. The weather turned it on for us our entire stay but I think it would also be a great winter getaway spot too. Fabulous time. Can't wait to go back.
