I loved the gardens, the beds with flannel sheets and down comforters, the dog Zoey and mostly the host Jude. It was all so lovely!

Breakfast was a very pleasant continental style with home made stewed peaches and great conversation from our host

Jude is a particularly friendly and helpful hostess. Her house is set in a beautiful more rural location, yet only 5-10mins drive to the sea, with lovely birdsong in the early morning. The villa is 130 years old, full of history and charm, yet modernized and very comfortable. My kingsize bed was wonderful.

The steep stairs are a challenge for damaged knees and luggage !

A lovely old villa out in the country but so close to town. Jude our hostess was lovely and the weka was very friendly! we loved the gardens and the peaceful quiet place to stay.

nothing!

Host very friendly

Great Hostess, friendly and very welcoming, thanks Jude! Loved being in the countryside but just a short drive to Takaka! Thank you

Absolutely beautiful place and fantastic hospitality. Can’t wait to go back. Jude is a warm and welcoming host. It felt like staying with a friend/family member.

The charm, warmth and friendliness of the villa and its owner. This was my second stay and will certainly look at going back again.

I didn't like the fact that the stay ended.
