Homestead stay
We loved this beautiful old homestead but were disappointed to learn 2 days before our arrival that the spa pool (one of the main reasons we booked) had been out of commission since November 2022. The spa pool was still being advertised on the website after we arrived. We were also asked not to run the heat pump over night - the house very cold in the early morning as there was a cold snap during our stay.

Country charm, this place has soul
Philippa was a perfect host. She shared her family home full of history and her garden full of fresh produce. The rooms had elegant proportions, decor, and space. We liked that all 9 of us could sit around a table to eat. The only bit that made us sweat was the location being advertised as Pirionoa and not receiving the precise address until a couple of days before. We planned to bike 10km for a meal at the local pub but were late because the journey was 17km. Maybe you could tweak the location on the property description. Thanks for the stay we loved it.

Fantastic homestead
Made most welcome on arrival. Home beautiful old world charm with vases of flowers to greet us. An absolute beautiful garden with the fragrance of flowers drifting through the doors of the bedrooms. A well equiped home and loved the Dr Who themed shower. The awesome art work a treasure. A fantastic stay

Beautiful homestead which all the family loved as there was plenty of space for the 10 of us.
The kitchen area was a focal point for the family to gather before and after our event. The hosts were super helpful and the homestead had everything we needed. Thank you Phillipa and Dean
