Just a brief overnight stop but Alby was very welcoming and the view was worth carting our luggage up quite a few steps for! We had everything we needed for our short stay - thank you.

Very quaint, cute cottages, nicely designed grounds, short drive to town for restaurants and shops.

Jake, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very chill property with amazing talented and welcoming host Alby. Our chalet was an upstairs downstairs set up with plenty of room and amazing views of the valley and sunset amenities were detailed and well thought out and exceeded my expectations.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Located on a hill in the Thames, the view is excellent, and the cottage is very cosy.

6/10 Good

One night in Thames

The stay was nice and the host Albi was friendly but there were a couple of issues that disappointed us in terms of having the WiFi internet cut at night and being rushed through check out the next morning. Other than that, it was a nice place with a very lovely view.
Khaled, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were greeted by a friendly host and loved our stay here. It was set in a lovely area surrounded by plants and was very clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the view from the bedroom window which was private so we left the curtains open to look at the night sky. Fantastic!
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolute beautiful area with Rachel and Albu being very gracious and helpful hosts. Unit very nice, very comfortable bed and good appliances. Beautiful views. The BBQ needs a bit of love though.
Talitha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the Kauri chalet and really liked it. The view is great. The connecting room, Rata’s view is even better, but that room is much smaller. If you are a bigger group, booking these two rooms together will be perfect. We woke up to the birdsongs and had a peaceful breakfast on the balcony. The stairs bring the charm to the place and we did not mind the extra steps. Owner/staff are very friendly. PAKnSAVE is only 6 minutes drive away.
ERMEI, 1-night trip

Just one word: spectacular view……

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a lovely place! The view was spectacular and having a nice balcony area to enjoy the sunset with some wine and cheese was the perfect end to the day. Checkin was a breeze - the key is left for you in the office with directions to your room - and the layout of our two-story space was perfect for our situation. I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
