Waipara Hotel Guide - Torlesse Wines hotels in Waipara, New Zealand.

"We loved our stay at Flaxmere Guest Cottage. The cottage was warm, sunny and spacious. Comfy beds with lovely linen and a woodburner. We self catered and it was perfect for staying in by the fire in the evenings. It was lovely being able to wander through the magnificent gardens. A truely unique place and we’d definitely rebook. "

"Would have liked to be supplied with top up tea/coffee etc. Very compact as the name suggested as a tiny home. The grass slop to walk down to the tiny home did not have lighting down it and was dangerous as it was wet. The steps up to the tiny home had a fountain covering half the step, we found this dangerous, and had no lighting to safely nagavate to the tiny home. We had brought a little torch otherwise was could not have got into the tiny home safely. "

"Lovely motel. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly greeting at check-in with lots of helpful information."

"Just an outstanding stay with wonderful hosts who have created a warm and creative atmosphere inside and out. We felt hugely welcomed. …and our dog Elton had the time of his life—he arrived back home happily exhausted! "

"It started by being difficult to get a reply from the owner while booking. On arrival,we were not expected. The owner did arrive, apologised for the mix up and made an effort to clean it, but we just wanted to relax after a 4 hour drive on Christmas Eve. He perhaps didn't have enough time to clean properly because every area was dirty from floors, to shower to kitchen items and the fridge had expired food in it. It also felt uncomfortable with personal items: medications in fridge and legal documents in the TV cabinet. Games were a plus but we could not sit on the sofa as there was a smell of death, possibly from dead birds in the flue and there was a smell of cigarettes, including the bedsheets.Outside was not welcoming with a container overflowing with junk near the house and the access to the house was through a paddock of cows and bulls. The plus was the house itself was fenced off but there were still old cow dung around. Not what we had hoped for for a relaxing holiday and we chose to leave after 1 night rather than the 2 we paid for. "
