    One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in New Zealand. Boutique style with only a few rooms and personalised service from the owner Sarah. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cater to our needs travelling with a baby.

    The retreat was very well laid out , quiet and many luxuries. Only stayed 1 night so couldn’t make use of the pool. But otherwise the bed was comfortable. Breakfast amazing especially to have it in a church.
