We have just had a 3-day stay here. Everything was excellent, the accommodation was modern and spotlessly clean, there was everything there that we needed and the view over the hills from the lounge was amazing. The host, Tom, was very friendly and helpful and we highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a peaceful holiday while still being still only a 10 minutes drive from the town of Waipu which has some great cafes and a fascinating museum.
