Amazing - we will definitely be back!
Pros:

Elise and Alistair hosted us for 2 nights for our visit to Greytown. Hidden Gem lives up to its name...we were wowed from the start. Elise and Alistair are amazing hosts, they are so friendly and made us feel welcome right from the start. The accommodation is well thought out and incredibly comfortable. A wonderful breakfast provided each morning which was superb. Elise and Alistair are a lovely couple, with amazing stories to share...and everywhere they recommended us to visit in Wairapa was brilliant...their local knowledge is tremendous. We will most definitely be visiting again.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like - it was fantastic!

Pros:

Je pense que c'est l' un des meilleurs endroits que nous ayons fait. Tout est fait pour que vous vous sentiez à l'aise, d ailleurs ça été un des meilleurs moments de notre voyage. Nous avons vraiment apprécié la gentillesse et l accueil de nos hôtes, le logement est spacieux, propre et très jolie. Le petit déjeuner est bien copieux. Nous étions simplement de passage, mais nous serions rester une en nuit en plus si notre programme pouvait nous le permettre. Aussi, notez que le charmant village de Greytown est tout a côté!!

Cons:

De partir!
