Fabulous

Fresh eggs fort breakfast, choice of cereals, fruit, toast, and we could have made plunger coffee had we not been heading into town for coffee. Perfect. LOVED setting and view of the mountains and the alpacas and pigs in the paddock next door.

Liked everything. I think that staying in the separate cottage made it even better and would ask for the cottage in future.

Would love to go back as my stay was cut short by my ferry being cancelled, I arrived late at night.

If you are fortunate enough to stay at Te Mahuru, go for as long as possible- you won't want to leave. The retreat is beautiful & the scenery is jaw dropping amazing. Jen & Paul have created a wonderful peaceful home away from home, the attention to detail is perfection. Great hosts & super gorgeous dog 🥰

Great stay, beautiful surroundings

It was easy to reach, a beautiful, quiet location. The room was great. Didn't have time to use the hottub. That would have been lovely too.

The property was very relaxing with amazing views and hang out areas. Jen also brought the dogs for a cuddle which was great 😊

Nothing, will go back again😊
