Pros:

Julian was welcoming and friendly.
Respected privacy and allowed us to use the pool. The Poripori River swim holes were also close for a walk and swim if you prefer a natural environment.

Cons:

Proximity to highway which was busy and noisy throughout the day.

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay. Beautifully presented and clean. Plenty of space for us to be together but to also have our own separate spaces when needing time to ourselves and to recharge. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and even with what we didn’t know we needed. The pool was fantastic and one of the main reasons we chose this accommodation but when we arrived, the whole property was exactly what we wanted and the pool was the cherry on top! Our family occupied both the 3 bedroom dwelling and the cottage which was perfect! Julian and Frances were amazing hosts!

Everything you could want and need!
Pros:

The cottage was perfect for two members of our family who could join us at the main house but also have their own space. Just like the main house the cottage is a wonderful space, well equipped and so comfortable. Thank you Julian & Frances for your hospitality and thoughtful touches that made us feel so welcome.
