Hu2025-01-0110Verified Excellent! ☺Host is really friendly and nice. He responded us quickly. The accommodation is definitely worth and it is the cleanest and the tidiest room I have lived in NZ. It is not easy to make it clean as this by the several people here. I can feel their attitude and hard work. The house is designed cozy and comfortable. If you just drop by, pls have a rest here. The photos were the perfect breakfast. Btw, they have local honey here very affordable and in good quality. 非常推薦這裡休息,風景優美,房間很整潔乾淨(紐西蘭的房間我覺得衛生都比較一般),但是這個房間很乾淨!全五分!而且這裡有本地的蜂蜜喔! ☹It is good so far. But when I checked the messages sent to me, it was not said which room I booked( C1 or C2).

Nerissa2024-12-2810Verified Would stay again and again and again ☺ We absolutely loved our stay. Quick & easy check in. The room was modern and spacious. Had great tv options and are dog friendly!

And three times we have had the WORST breakfast ever.Fried eggs solid white runny yolk no way.Eggs just like hokey pucks hard and crisp didn't eat them.Crispy bacon never heard of it how hard is it about as hard as the eggs I suppose.Well never to return until they find a cook.

John Ayoub2024-12-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice place to stop. Gardens nice to sit in and have your food. Catherine Connor2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I stayed 1 night in a chalet as part of a 4 day biking trip. Best accommodation ever. We left our bike in their shed at Millers Flat and John came to pick us up (then dropped us off the next morning). The chalets are gorgeous and very well equipped (wifi, TV, microwave, fridge, outlets by the bed, hair dryer, plates, cups, etc..). Walking distance is the café (best option in the area) for brekkie and dinner. Across the street are honey and fruit stalls. We were so grateful for John and Lee's hospitality. Highly recommended as a stop for a great night of sleep, quietness, and great food.
