Very nostalgic and friendly accommodation. Soft drinks are provided.
There are also reservation services for sauna rooms, etc. You can feel the owner's attentive management
There is a courtyard so there are some bugs in the room, but I don't really care.

This was a gem of a property to find. The historic house and the hosts were exceptional. We were only there for 1 night, but they made us feel like friends that had returned for a visit. Absolutely recommend a stay here. And the homemade breakfast breads were amazing!

This was the most luxurious accommodation we have stayed at in a long time. Not only was it perfect and indulgent, our hosts were amazing. We appreciated every attention to detail, even treating us in the morning by our first names as we got coffee.
They made us feel welcome and part of the family.

Well furnished large bedrooms. Bathroom was some way up the hallway. Continental breakfast plentiful as well as complimentary soft drinks. Quiet and peaceful in lovely large garden. Hot tub was a nice addition.

The love and respect shown for the historic property by the current owners is inspiring.
There is a very welcoming and family oriented feel to the property, and their two labs are friendly and good company.
I would seriously recommend this property for small group getaways, corporate or private retreats.

Fabulous Historical Home
Wow what a beautiful setting for this glorious homestead. Stunning room (wonderful free upgrade-thank you!) with so much space and history beautifully presented. Unlimited tea & coffee & cold drinks a real bonus and the free sweet treats in the room much appreciated. Bathroom is separate but each room has its own bathroom so not a problem. The included breakfast was a great bonus with homemade breads & conserves. Radiator heating throughout the house made it so warm & cosy! Will definitely stay again as hosts very welcoming and helpful. Really interesting history of the building & the town which adds to the experience and so close to Balclutha so great for business trip.

Herzlichen Dank an Matt für die freundliche Begrüßung und den super Host!

Trek to bathroom
The bathroom was a trek down the hallway and the taps were nearly impossible to get your hands under the water
