A beautiful secluded spot, roomy comfortable rooms, friendly service and exceptional food!
Maybe the night music could have been more relaxing
I have stayed here a few times now and I still love it - feels like a get away even though you are only an hour from Auckland and 15 minutes from Warkworth. The restaurant food is always good (for breakfast and dinner) and staff are lovely. The rooms have a beautiful fire, large bath and double shower, there’s no TV so feels very cosy

Service
Felt luxurious
Excellent location excellent service excellent dining
Location with ridge top views and accommodation were comfortable.
On arrival 10 minutes before check-in at 3 we were told we were “early” and had to wait an hour before the room was ready (they were short staffed on account of a conference). After an hour the lovely Monique offered a coffee or drink while we waited, but overall, not a welcoming arrival.
At dinner, though nice, it was a bit let down by very ordinary cold rolls and salt and pepper shakers rather than grinders. For the money, it felt more like a cafe approach. The food was nice but unfortunately neither of the two wines that we ordered were available as apparently they were out of stock., even though still on the wine list.
The milk in the room fridge had to be returned to reception as it had curdled and out of date.
Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful
They need to deep clean. Window sills dirty, blinds dusty
The rooms were lovely, though some amenities felt a little dated. The main lodge is absolutely stunning. A few menu items, including drinks, were unavailable during our stay, which was disappointing, especially as we were there to celebrate a birthday.
Aside from that, the staff were lovely, and the location and views were stunning.
Spa bath out of order for renovation. Somethings look tired.
Fantastic break away from hotels/motels. The restaurant was great.
The main house was very pleasant, staff very friendly.
Dinner menu very limited, we managed with bar snacks but quite disappointing considering how remote the location. Found breakfast very disappointing. The rooms were a distance from the main house and given the weather we decided to drive up to the house. The narrow steep and twisty 5km gravel drive to the house should be flagged up more prominently. No TV in the room.
A beautiful location but at the end of a 8 mile gravel narrow road which took us a little by surprise but my oh my what a worthy drive. Luscious grounds and with nature. Beautiful lounges. Superb and kind staff. Excellent food.
The spa bath didn’t work.
The patio furniture was dirty and not as hoped and no side table on patio.
The restaurant food was fantastic.
The road up is a bit long.
The food was good and the staff
Not particularly clean, no cushions for outside chairs. Very random gravel track here
Lack of staff. End of year feeling. Place not cleaned and tidied at pool area.
Wonderful location and property, food was hugh quality and staff were lovely. Rooms were huge with gorgeous views of the surrounding bush, really comfortable size to relax and spend some time.
