Stunning place worth staying
Stayed one night in the Luna suite and wished I had booked more nights. This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at anywhere. We arrived to find a beautifully baked bread roll, still warm from an oven, waiting for us on the kitchenette bench. Best tasting roll I've eaten in a long time. Lovely olive oil and balsamic was supplied. The four poster bed was made immaculately and the place itself was utterly spotless. Everything was perfect and the attention to detail was flawless - from how the cushions were arranged on the sofa, even to how the cutlery was arranged in the drawers! The views onto the garden were very relaxing. Good quality coffee and condiments. Breakfast supplies were utterly fresh. Amazing manuka honey toiletries in the bathroom. Spa bath was relaxing. Can't fault the place! Do yourself a favour and stay here. I will definitely come back here for a longer stay.

Lovely room with spa
We really enjoyed our stay in the Sol room. There was so much attention to detail, from providing bath salts for the spa to including little chocolates around the room. Gorgeous views of camellia trees and the forest over the road. And the gardens on the property are really beautiful. We went for a wander one night and found a sugar glider in one of the trees. We ended up spending a whole morning just sitting at the little table, reading and sketching. It was very comfortable and cosy.
