Summary: This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this property and it doesn’t disappoint. The house has plenty of rooms and space, and the view outside is amazing. We have gone during summer both times and the pool naturally warms up to a very nice temperature. We also enjoyed feeding carrots to, and patting the horses. It was just the relaxing holiday away from busy Sydney and work that we needed to recharge. We will be back for sure!

Summary: This property is stunning! From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is inviting and the relaxed vibe takes over. As a family of five with a teenager, tween and younger child, the house was more than enough space to please everyone. The kids enjoyed the pool, feeding carrots to the horses and going out for dinner in nearby Gloucester. The views were stunning and it was warm enough to swim and cold enough at night to use the wonderful open fireplace. We even fired up the barbecue on our final night. Comfortable and spacious, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, we'll be back!

Summary: We were a group of 4 Couples. We had a great experience from the time we arrived until departure. We enjoyed a clean beautiful house with a great view and surrounding. Each couple had their own privacy when required and also enjoyed having our own ensuite. The Kitchen was fantastic. Will definitely book again next year.

Summary: We are a group of eight friends who go away each year to various places. We all so enjoyed our stay at Kia Ora. The accommodation was spacious and very clean. Each of the 5 bedrooms were very comfortable with their own ensuites. The very large kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cooking utensils and crockery and cutlery. We all enjoyed the outdoor areas with wonderful views over the beautiful countryside. A great place to spend with family or friends. Would highly recommend Kia Ora.
