Ngā Whare Mānatu — Hotel in South Island

the best night we spent in New Zealand. On arrival, the girl who greeted us had a beautiful smile, was just perfect, polite, welcoming, professional! what a happiness!! the room is perfect, very well made and tidy. We had a gift to a little attention for my partner's birthday. A small tray full of small sweets and chocolate. Extremely good, the owner is available and responds quickly to requests and is very professional! the use of the bathtub is simple, the place is magnificent , the open sky, with the possibility of closing and just brilliant with a morning wake-up call on a sunrise exceptional sun. The sound of the birds will help you and accompany you to enjoy a breakfast with good fresh yogurts, good fresh orange juice, some pastries and coffee and tea, a small downside the pastries are of poor quality.

All that done, we realised we were in the midst of nature, all on our own, in a very nice, comfortable room with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Breakfast is in a hamper and in the fridge. You'll find dinner down in Geraldine. The most memorable part of our short stay was the magnificent sunrise over the fields, unobstructed by any other buildings. As said, this is different, but certainly to be...

Absolutely fantastic place for a quiet, secluded night away. The tiny house(?) is modern and tastefully decorated. The host leaves a bevy of tasty snacks as well as a coffee pod machine for you to use. The bath is deliciously deep, and with good hot water only takes half an hour to fill. Birdsong both at twilight and dawn was one of the highlights of the stay, as well as the stunning sunrise that we got to view from the warmth of our comfy bed. Would 100% recommend, and we plan on...
