Beautiful spot
Amazing property in a pretty special spot! The house was tidy and had so much space. Great to be able to sleep lots of people and actually have the living space to handle the numbers. It would be nice if the cost of linen was included in the overall price as this almost caught us out.

Lots for kids to do
this was a great place for our family - plenty of space, exploring the farm, putting up a slack line, walking on the farm, playing spotlight, toasting marshmallows and wallowing in the spa. And exploring the vicinity - the seal colony, cycling.

Fantastic property but in the current market I suggest including linen as a property should have everything a guest needs to stay and feel comfortable.

Great location- spacious and good kitchen. It was a bit of a drag having to take our own linen but we didn't want to pay extra. The spa was great and we all had a very pleasant time. Thank you.

Good Place for large Groups
We stayed with 12 people for the weekend and the place was a great size and close to Martinborough for the group. There were a few issues such as some broken glass in the lawn, hearing rats in the wall most of the night, the spa pool being different than pictured (more inflatable than a standard permanent spa pool that it looks like a photo is taken from in the listing), and not having quite the right amount of bedding after paying for it separately. Also got asked after our stay if we had taken 20 dinner plates when the host just hadn't checked the other cupboard where there is a note saying it's where extra plates were stored, which was a bit odd not to check first. None of which affected our ability to have a good time, cook nice food in the kitchen, and enjoy the space. Really convenient location for enjoying what Martinborough has to offer.

Relaxing Weekend Away
Had a lovely time with friends at this property. Weather was terrible, so we spent lots of time by the cozy fire, and managed a quick dip in the hot-tub. Loved seeing the lambs in the front paddock - on a sunny warm day the deck would be beautiful. A short drive to town and wineries, but also a lovely spot to read a book, take in the view, and enjoy some time away.

Absolutely idyllic!
Sitting on the covered deck, in the sun watching the lambs playing, was bliss. Very comfortable home, although has some quirks that come with older properties, but very well set up. Would definitely stay again.
