    Friendly staff and wonderfully isolated, tucked beside the Rangitikei River in a deep canyon, and no mobile phone coverage!

    The food was excellent and it was great service. The place was super calm and in touch with nature. We really loved it and will definitely go back!

    A localização no Vale, junto ao Rio. Isolado do mundo. As pessoas que nos recebem e a comida são maravilhosas.
