Heaven on Earth
This was exactly what we hoped. Breathtaking views that made us wish we could stay longer. We had a short visit on our way to Australia, this was perfectly located for day trips to Rotorua / Te Puia and Hobitton along with a wine day at Waiheke. We would make the day long flights again to stay here!

Lovely rural bach
We really enjoyed staying at the bach, we thought it was even nicer than the photos. The children really enjoyed the hot tub and also hanging out with the animals, in particular the alpaca :-).

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed staying at Yana and J’s home. It was beautiful from the art on the inside to the beautiful land on the outside. We really enjoyed our farm animal tour and the recommendation for finer wines. The hosts were lovely, friendly people. We highly recommend this relaxing retreat!
