lovely quiet location, pleasant grounds with walks in the garden or by the stream

David New Zealand

Great central location. Thoroughly enjoyable and peaceful stay.

Kathryn New Zealand

Comfortable, spacious, clean and lovely location. Ideal accommodation for us as a couple and my elderly mum. Really liked the layout with a bedroom and bathroom on ground and first floor. Very caring and generous host. Excellent value for money. Loved the attached gallery!

Gabby New Zealand

A beautiful renovated dairy., now a lavender farm. Liz ,the owner, takes great care to make her guests comfortable. Ample space and privacy, wonderful grounds. A great place to relax and unwind.

Elizabeth New Zealand

This was a very spacious apartment on a lavender farm. A delightful place to stay with beautiful gardens, lavender and a large gift shop. Our host, Liz, was very welcoming and informative about the lavender farm. We really enjoyed our stay.

Gary New Zealand

Hidden inside of a huge former dairy factory is a large 2 level cottage attached to the main building. The main attraction for us is always a wood burner. It's an unbelievable feeling to stay in front of the fire in the middle of a wild storm. Breaky included fresh eggs from their own hens. Hens themselves come in the morning to say hello. Manicured lawns and lavender field from one side and real wild stream running thru the property just a few steps away on the other side of the cottage. One stay only unfortunately but really will be back one day. Thanks, Liz!!!

Vlad New Zealand

Everything else. The host, the quite area and the cottage OMG it's amazing.

Jacob New Zealand

A beautiful garden setting with well appointed and comfortable accommodation and the charming and super helpful Liz as our host!

Broadmore New Zealand

Meeting Liz the owner who was exceptionally friendly, accommodating and welcoming.

Tawehi New Zealand

It was a very comfortable cottage in a delightful location - very private and with nature. Loved the lavender field and gardens and stream and trees. Thank you to Liz - what a wonderful hostess - so warm and friendly and she showed us how she extracts the oil from the lavender. A very interesting process. We loved our time there.
