View, location and gardens were incredible. Such a beautiful location and the gardens are so lovely, a real credit to the owners. The accommodation was lovely, comfortable and slept like a baby listening to the waves during the night. Was one of our favourite accommodations whilst on the South Island of NZ for two weeks.
