Family Holiday

Relaxing family stay with primary age kids and grandparents. Great spot with lovely spaces to unwind after day trips. The place is very well equipped with quality appliances, and was spotless. Loved the views from the great big dining table and the bath, as well as feeding the alpacas.

Great stay! Air is in all bedrooms - would be nice to have another unit in main area. Walking distance from beach, which is beautiful. Also walking distance from a couple local sodas and a market. Pools is great too! And there is a terrace above the guest house that gives a nice view of the ocean. Would stay again!

Haven near Hamilton

We stayed here for two nights to be central to a couple day trips and wish we could stay longer. The property was well taken care of and comfortable. Very spacious. Slept really well. The hosts were considerate, with fresh cut flowers and sweets for the kids. There's some Alpaca, sheep, chickens, and cows on site which is exciting for the kids. Will definitely try to stay here next time I'm near Hamilton.
