Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Exceptional stay at this off-the-grid cabin in the heart of Waipara wine country. Sue was an incredibly gracious host and the setting (especially the views and bath) were amazing. Highly recommend!
Stunning setting and design. Excellent attention to detail. A very special place.

A very special place not to be missed
A special place. So tasteful in everything from linen robes to the soaps and lotions to the homemade jam in the morning. And the soaking tub outside - and outside shower - are bonuses. The view is spectacular. Plenty of lanterns give light. You don’t even realize you are off the grid!
