This is a little gem! After being greeted at the door by Lionel, you step into a hallway that has Bond like qualities. Our room was well appointed, spotlessly clean with every amenity you could want and doors out into a beautiful garden. Chatty, but unobtrusive hosts who were helpful and can't do enough for their guests. A great base... More

Truly wonderful accommodation staying in the garden cottage et al in a most pleasant landscaped, tranquil environment. And all this in a fantastically pretty part of the country and with a huge bespoke breakfast delivered daily. Quality throughout not least in the company of Lionel and Rob. The only criticism was ......... just joking !

We could only stay one night but it was the perfect place to end our stay in the lovely Bay of Islands and Northland. Lionel and Rob were perfect hosts - very accommodating but gave us our own space too. The room was lovely, the pool and gardens devine and breakfast, such a treat. We will definitely be back.
