Just a brief overnight stop but Alby was very welcoming and the view was worth carting our luggage up quite a few steps for! We had everything we needed for our short stay - thank you.

What a fantastic place. Albi was very welcoming and helpful and our cottage was beautifully presented. Watching the sun go down, followed by a dip in the hot tub was unforgettable.

We were greeted by a friendly host and loved our stay here. It was set in a lovely area surrounded by plants and was very clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the view from the bedroom window which was private so we left the curtains open to look at the night sky. Fantastic!

We stayed in the Kauri chalet and really liked it. The view is great. The connecting room, Rata’s view is even better, but that room is much smaller. If you are a bigger group, booking these two rooms together will be perfect. We woke up to the birdsongs and had a peaceful breakfast on the balcony. The stairs bring the charm to the place and we did not mind the extra steps. Owner/staff are very friendly. PAKnSAVE is only 6 minutes drive away.

The cottages are on the side of a mountain overlooking Thames Bay. Beautiful! There were chairs outside on the deck for viewing and our cottage had a full wall window to view from inside, The property had wonderful foliage and the hosts are lovely, The cottage was very clean. The bathroom and room we had were small, (there's different sizes), but the view made up for it. In the mini fridg there was chocolate liqueur and a couple cookies. (nice touch) We absolutely loved it!

What a lovely place! The view was spectacular and having a nice balcony area to enjoy the sunset with some wine and cheese was the perfect end to the day. Checkin was a breeze - the key is left for you in the office with directions to your room - and the layout of our two-story space was perfect for our situation. I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

Friendly host. The property would have been gorgeous in its day but it is more than tired. We were delighted to check in early. You definitely need a vehicle to get back into town.
