The home itself is beautifully decorated, with lovely toiletries, coffee making, ironing board etc in your room. The beds are super comfortable and the house is so quiet so you will have a wonderful sleep.
You get to choose a welcome bottle of wine from their fantastic collection and the breakfast was outstanding. It’s such a beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine, you can even do so in their lovely hot tub, or wander the gardens and visit the alpacas. They have a wonderful collection of cats and dogs who are also charming to say hello to!
I would say you need a car to stay here, and then you can go and explore all that Hawkes bay has to offer.
We hope to return soon.
