We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

This chalet was the absolute highlight of our holiday in New Zealand so far. It is a well equipped, modern, luxurious, super clean and spacious chalet type accommodation. It has absolutely everything you can think of - and the absolute highlight are of course the animals! What a joy to have then right next to you and being able to feed them by yourself! Also super lovely to have complimentary drinks and breakfast ready in the fridge. The hosts are very kind. If we ever come back to NZ then we would definitely come back here! Top recommendation!

Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!
