Had an excellent stay with Trish, thoroughly recommend this accommodation for families or for friends just catching up. Regards Grant

A very pleasant stay in a wonderful rural location only a short 30 min drive from Auckland Airport. We all enjoyed the modern, clean and luxurious venue along with the relaxing rural views. The hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure we had a nice stay. Our kids especially enjoyed a ride on the back of a tractor during the olive harvest, along with the opportunity to meet and feed the alpacas.

Lovely place to stay. We wish we could have spent more time here! The place was so clean and tidy, and Trish was more than accommodating and a wonderful host. Highly recommend, and if we are ever in need of a place to stay in Riverhead again we will be booking here for sure.

The host was extremely accommodating and welcoming. She made us all feel instantly as home and left us a very generous welcome pack. The property was very peaceful, generous size rooms. The second lounge was so useful when people needed their own space away from wedding prep. We all felt at home and welcome

We enjoyed our stay at Lavender Hill immensely! We were there for a family wedding nearby and were disappointed we couldn't spend more time at this fabulous property. Everything was smooth from the time of booking, through the check in process and leaving the property. The breakfast supplied by Trish was unbelievable and well utilised. The house is so well set up with everything on hand. The beds were super comfortable. Location was perfect for what we needed. All in all, top marks and I would recommend a stay here anytime!

Lovely host on a beautiful property. Suited our party of 8 perfectly. Thank you!

Thank you Trish for having is to stay. This property exceeded our expectations, we had some last minute changes to our booking and nothing was a bother to Trish. We had a group of 4 couples staying for a wedding. The property is in a tranquil country setting. Every bedroom had its own bathroom and the kitchen and living room facilities were great, not to mention the lovely spread provided for breakfast! We would definitely recommend this place to stay. A bonus was a visit to the onsite shop to purchase the wonderful products manufactured onsite including limoncello, olive oil, lavender oil and related products and award winning gin!

We stayed here either night of our wedding with some family and friends and found both the house and grounds to be absolutely phenomenal. Trish was incredibly helpful on check-in before pointing out where we could find her if we needed her before leaving us be to enjoy the stay. The house was very clean with more than enough for the people that stayed there. Each bedroom was well sized with their own bathroom, and the goodie bags are an excellent idea. The kereru room gets the early morning sun peeping in underneath the blind as nature's alarm clock. This was the perfect excuse to get up early on the big day and enjoy a coffee in the olive grove as the sun rose. Feeding the alpacas was a unique experience and really added something else to our bridal party shoot. We would not hesitate to recommend a couple of nights here, regardless of the event,and we hope to find and excuse to come back soon.
