Homestay, with breakfast, in host's lovely, architecturally designed house in an olive grove with views of the Waiohine river and surrounding mountains. Cool in summer and warm in winter. The site is very peaceful with only birdsong and the occasional sound of nearby farm animals. Great place for relaxing under the beautiful old totara trees, walking beside the river or watching small children play in the spacious grounds.
Guest suite, with wheelchair access, has a wet area shower and an outside bathtub on the private balcony for bathing under the stars.
The master suite upstairs is only available for a second couple (or single adult) in the same party. It has expansive views of the grounds, river and mountains.
The small rustic cabin in the olive grove is totally private and has stunning views down the river. It is furnished with family heirlooms and lit with a small solar powered light but has no plumbing. Private toilet facilities and a hot outdoor shower are a short walk away in main house. Kitchen and other facilities are available to cabin guests.

Following is feedback posted by visitors to this property:Stunning peaceful setting
Our host Gael was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. The setting is stunning and so peaceful. Wonderful outdoor shower and bath (which we enjoyed immensely) and a stunning breakfast with our Hosts. We love the area and will be back :)

wonderful night
the cabin is located some distance from the house, so my boyfriend and I enjoyed a stay with only two of us. At 3 am or so, the moonlight was so bright. River sounded just beside us. The hostess is welcoming and nice!

Tranquility in Gretown
A wonderful experience in the 'rustic cabin", amid the olive and totara trees. A night under the stars that even my 13yr old grandson loved. Wonderful hostess in Gail, made us very welcome and relaxed

Herzliche Gastfreundschaft unter Olivenbäumen
Ruhige, etwas abgelegene Lage. Schönes Haus in ländlicher Umgebung, zwischen Olivenbäumen, herzliche Gastfreundschaft - man fühlt sich rundum wohl und wie zu Hause. Dazu schönes Frühstück draußen mit Früchten, Joghurt, Müesli, Toast und was dazu gehört.
