The game room had a large TV with Disney and Netflix. They had a handicapp accessible ramp/ walkway up to the rooms. A cafe is on the corner close by that had a descent breakfast and baked goods. ##### Kenneth ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was very happy with my stay here. Andrea was very welcoming and helpful. I stayed in a dorm room, but turned out I had it to myself, which was nice. The facilities seem to be purpose built for small share accommodation, with a large kitchen and dining room, and separate lounge space. Everything was spotlessly clean. It felt very tranquil - close enough to the highway to be convenient for those travelling by car, but far enough away to feel like you're staying on a farm away from the world. I would definitely recommend staying here. The eggs and passionfruit were a nice welcoming touch as well. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a wonderful place to stay. We only had one night here but this would be a wonderful place to take a few days to decompress after a week or two of being on the road, traveling NZ. The kitchen is huge with plenty of space. Each room has its own full size fridge and we had a private bathroom. The bathroom is not en suite but right next door and comes with a key so you can lock your things away if you wish. The property is beautiful, quiet, and has 200 avocado trees that you can walk under and relax. The public areas are very clean and the rooms are a good size. The location is in the county with a small town near by. The hosts were very kind and responsive. This is a nice out of the way place that I would love to visit again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie-Philippe 29 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Très bel endroit pour relaxer en nature !

We were lucky to be the only visitors, it might seem a bit communal if all 4 rooms are taken. Good to be able to walk around the garden and Avo orchard. ##### SUSAN Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Grand Ferdinand Vienna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Grand-Ferdinand-Vienna-Your-Hotel-In-The-City-Center.h11567127.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsampika Hotel - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Tsampika-Hotel.h67633232.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Curran Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larne-Hotels-Curran-Court-Hotel.h3504325.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-St-Nicolas-Bay-Resort-Hotel-Villas.h517311.Hotel-Information) > > [Naumi Hotel Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Naumi-Hotel-Auckland-Airport.h10062481.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bayview Hotel Pattaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pattaya-Hotels-The-Bayview-Hotel-Pattaya.h1079533.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodges Mufulira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mufulira-Lodges.d3000477368-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Solaris Cancun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Royal-Solaris-Cancun-Resort-Marina-Spa-All-Inclusive.h13655.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Kings Cross St. Pancras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Cross-St-Pancras-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6047476-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Gatlinburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatlinburg-Hotels.d7474.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Elland Road Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Elland-Road-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6082777-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gran Melia Palacio de Isora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guia-De-Isora-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Palacio-De-Isora.h1876184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Koh Samui](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koh-Samui-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d6035013-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Antwerp (ANR) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/anr/lhr/antwerp-to-london) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/sin/belfast-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Granadilla de Abona (TFS) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tfs/edi/tenerife-to-edinburgh) ### Cars > [Fox Rental Cars Car Rentals In Harry Reid Intl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fox-Rental-Cars-Car-Rentals-In-Harry-Reid-Intl.d5456204-c19.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Wisbech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Wisbech.d5480.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/42/Costa-Rica) > > [Salzburg Lakes Area Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salzburg-Lakes-Area.d6055735.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Gorey Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gorey-Holiday-Rentals.d182530.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
