From when we first booked, then received personal & detailed instructions for our visit, it just felt right. Owner Bev was moving animals when we arrived & greeted us with a no fuss welcome. We’d arrived! The three bedroom house was at the end of the gently sloping driveway. Well kept gardens led us into the. House and a huge living area, with an open plan kitchen, lounge area & direct access to the veranda. The already heated spa sat at one end with 270 degree views over the valley down to the river. The place was immaculately clean, towels laid out on the beds, and Bev’s detailed instructions on everything from the wifi to the coffee machine spot on. So comfortable for a weekend retreat & either a walk or drive up to Kia Ora lookout for expansive views a good activity. Literally fifteen minutes from Gloucester, a thoroughly enjoyable family weekend. The giant house cows delighted the kids, as did the spa.
