Really enjoyed our stay in the Briarwood studio which was spacious, private and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchenette, comfortable king-sized bed and interesting art on the walls. Briarwood is a short walk from cafes and restaurants, and Greytown's boutique fashion shops. Next time we'll bring the dog - nice to find accommodation of this quality that is also pet-friendly.

Loved this place with the proximity to restaurants being just few hundred metres away and The wineries were 15 minutes drive. Cozy place with fire setup and iPad with complimentary wi fi. Best option when staying in Grey Town. The toiletries too were top notch which goes to show the level of detailing. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Briarwood for one night and were delighted with every aspect of our time. The rooms are beautiful and the attention to detail is faultless. The gardens are wonderfully presented. The host (Ian) is friendly and knows the town well. The fine touches like an i-pad and a well appointed kitchen make the stay relaxing and a home... More

We had one night at Briarwood and wished we could have stayed on. One of the best places we have ever stayed. A beautifully appointed room with all you could ever need. We had the secluded studio at the back on the property. Managed to get a last minute great deal on wotif.com too. Don't miss out on staying at... More

As others have noted, the amenities such as Ipods and Ipads provided really make this a convenient stop. The property is gorgeous and impeccably maintained. It's comfortable and decorated with great taste. The art collection (we had two suites) is modern and interesting and thoughtfully currated. We found the owners recommendations in town to be spot-on. Our only disappointment was... More

What an amazing stay we had here. Right from the start of the booking process, Iain was helpful and accommodating. The space was tastefully decorated and furnished thoughtfully, and with an amazing garden setting out the back. Lovely breakfast to boot! Highly recommended.

We stayed in the studio about two weeks ago, and everything from the owner's welcome and tour, to the quality and cleanliness of the room made an extremely positive impression on us, and made this a quality stay. There are free in house movies, an iPod player, and a good selection of cds. The bathrobes, towels, and bathroom amenities were... More

This exceeded our expectations. The rooms were stylishly decorated, luxurious but also comfortable, and small details like the ipad appreciated. The welcome from the owner was lovely. He was happy to take the time to give us recommendations on where to eat. It was nice to be able to walk down the road to the restaurants. We didn't get a... More

It would be hard to find a better presented self-contained place to stay. We appreciated the high quality furnishings, ambience, art on the lounge wall, and the free use of an i-pad. Bathroom is attractive, modern and clean with great towels. The TV is a bit small, and we could hear noise and footsteps from upstairs for a while, but... More

We stayed at Briarwood on our way back from a business trip in Wellington and chose it randomly.
