clean with beautiful views and lovely accommodation. Shona is awesome hostess. would love to have been able to stay longer

Amazing stay, comfy bed, friendly hosts, amazing views and so quiet. Will definitely stay again

Just a beautiful location and a gorgeous cottage.

This is an exceptional property set in a beautiful rural location with exquisite views over landscaped gardens. It is so peaceful that you feel as though you’re miles from anywhere when you’re actually only 2km (a lovely walk!) from the town boundary. The cottage is incredibly well set up with everything you might need and Shona and Tony are fantastic hosts - friendly and helpful, and on hand if you need anything. We booked the cottage at short notice for a quick retreat after a busy week, and we only had two days free, but we would definitely have stayed longer otherwise. The memory of sitting on the lovely wide deck, soaking up the view, breathing in the country air, inhaling the fragrance of the garden and listening to the birdsong (I forgot to mention the host of NZ native birds that grace the gardens!) will sustain us for a long time…and we’ll be back!

It was just perfect, exceptionally presented. Wonderful hosts.

For my time in New Zealand this property is by far the best of all It was a beautiful clean and well looked after property I would recommend this property to anyone to stay A great place 🤗❤️❤️🤗

Fantastic host - beautiful, quiet, rural setting. Awesome breakfast options.

It was very pleasant accommodation. The host was so good and friendly. She even offered us dinner and was very good in communicating about a party next door. Its a beautiful location and perfect getaway from city hustle.we will come back.

Fabulous accommodation. Can't wait to stay again next time for longer. As well as amazing accommodation the grounds were so pretty to stroll around. Shona and her husband were so welcoming.

Amazing place to stay! Peaceful and private in beautiful surrounds. Great amenities and so many well stocked extras. Highly recommend especially if you’re looking for a little escape away.

Awful. Extremely rude check-in where the lady lectured me about electricity. Then no wifi. Plus it's on the middle of nowhere out of cell phone coverage. One of the worst hotel stays I've ever had.

Gorgeous setting. Fabulous hospitality.

Very relaxing, comfortable and quiet. Just right for resetting your body clocks

Room/ single bedroom house was amazing. Clean, modern and tranquil. Only wish i had more time there to enjoy it more. Highly recommend

Brilliant. Superb accommodation, friendly host's, very relaxed.

This place is a hidden gem. Beautiful well appointed with modern appliances. The bed is super comfortable. Worth driving the few kilometres up from the main road. Walk around the grounds and be enveloped by the peace and quiet. A super freindly welcome by the host. Highly recomend.

Beautiful country views with a well equipped comfortable and clean cottage.

Such a special place and all the unexpected extras that were provided for a wonderful breakfast. Beautiful place and not far off highway

We had an enchanting, relaxing weekend away from the city at Matai Huka. The suite is its own house, adjacent to the owners' home but certainly private enough. Stunning grounds kept up pristinely, with some wildlife on the pond! We could have done with a better heating option at night (we found blankets, and two portable heaters in the end!) The oven was broken at the time we went, but the owners were so accommodating with alternative options it was easy to forget, and we had not planned to do much cooking anyway. It would have been nice to know in advance, as I imagine some would have been more affected than we were, but really no big deal. The only downside was the lack of cell service (if you have 2 Degrees, forget about it. The area is apparently a notorious blackout zone) and poor wifi connection. Yes, it was free but it barely worked unless we went into the back of the kitchen or the shared outdoor space between the houses. Bring a book and prepare to spend your stay off grid!

This trip to Wellington was a long weekend with long drives , and we hoped for a lovely warm and comfortable place to stay. It surpassed our expectations, with the added bonus of beautiful landscaping surrounding the cosy apartment in restful countryside. We have already recommended it to our friends. Thank you for the generous touch of treats for us and the helpful information on the area.
