A lovely spot to break the journey from Whakatane to Wellington.

9.0

We loved the history - the beautiful woods used to build the house & the old trinkets. Our bed was very comfortable & it was lovely looking out over the homestead gardens. John was very welcoming, helpful, & cooked us a delicious breakfast. It is great that the old house has been saved so we were happy to support this noble cause.

I wouldn’t recommend it for people with mobility issues as the bedrooms are upstairs & the private bathrooms don’t adjoin the bedrooms. This is not a problem otherwise & added to the quirkiness of staying in a very old house.

Loved it and would happily return. Encouraging others to do so.

10.0

Loved it - so clean and very interesting. Loved the rural setting. Beautifully furnished with so many interesting objet d'arts. A time capsule but done with real flair.

Stairs - which you can't avoid - were a bit of a pain.
