"An exquisite stay in the heart of Wine Country. Kate and Andrew are the consummate hosts with an impeccable eye for detail and the creature comforts. In all honesty, they made us feel VIP, and we can’t speak highly enough of their warmth, hospitality, and delightful property. A place that captures your heart and soul. A must visit!"

Gary, 2025
"Kate, Andrew and family were amazing hosts. The room was beautiful and included touches that made us really feel at home. Stand outs were the wonderfully home made breakfasts that Kate made to dietary restrictions, the brilliant recommendations in their online guidebook, and the fantastic scenery. All in all it was an amazing stay with proactive hosts and we would love to stay again."

Leah, 2025
"This place was probably our best find on South Island. Absolutely stunning area and views. Immaculate place to stay with everything thought of. Breakfast was divine the bread and muffins delicious. Will hopefully return again."

Sandra, 2025
"Such a luxurious place to stay! Everything was high quality and so well thought out. Kate was so friendly and accommodating, while also completely respecting our privacy. Will be letting others know about this gem (and will be back ourselves!)"

Carmel, January 2026
