Beautiful Place
Very beautiful luxury home. We absolutely loved our stay. I do suggest maybe getting a mattress topper as it felt like we were in separate beds as we had separate blankets too. But apart from the bedding it was a great relaxing stay. Loved seeing all the native birds the bird life was amazing! Also seen a Ruru(morepork) swoop in and get him a big moth which was flying around the light on the deck that moment was magical it felt like it happened in slow motion 😁 absolutely amazing thank you for sharing your beautiful property!
