This has always been on my 'must-do' list because of its reputation and it didn't disappoint. An exceptional place, yes its not cheap, that I feel priviledged to have stayed at.

Keryn New Zealand

Chris New Zealand

Breakfast was super. Eating outside on the patio overlooking the river and garden was fantastic. The home made granola was yummy and the portage the next days was divine too. Great 😊 I loved the gardens. Absolutely stunning.

Chantal New Zealand

Unique and Iconic New Zealand Lodge The welcome glass of bubbles and the tour of the property when we arrived, instantly dissolved any life stress we had. We really appreciated the effort the staff went to make us feel welcomed during the whole stay. Our favourite experience would have to be the solitude having our own private dining room with balcony during dinner. Dinner, the after dinner drinks selection. and Breakfast were all fabulous. The gardens were stunning and I really loved staying somewhere with iconic art and homage to the significant history of the property.

Sonya New Zealand
