A special oasis outside of Napier not to be missed

We loved this little oasis. The owners have done an amazing job of creating a special place that has everything you need. We were driving from Taupo to Napier and stopped for the night. They have lawn tennis, a full spa, swimming pool and an amazing restaurant not to be missed. Don’t bother going back into Napier for dinner. Stay here. They have an incredible wine selection and it’s been one of the highlights of the trip so far.

A beautiful rural property with adorable sheep and apple trees lining the drive. The staff is super helpful, plus the food is incredible. The only issue was the bathroom. The tub has a fixed glass panel, so you have to climb in the tub to start the water. Awkward and cold! Plus the floor tile threshold is a bit sharp on your feet.
