We stayed overnight at flat hills. It was interesting staying in the timber pod, the shared facilities were very good and staff went out of their way to courier an item we left behind. The shared kitchen was a generous size and meant we met and talked to other guests while making breakfast which was nice.

It was a family-friendly environment that offered many activities for the kids and was well-equipped with a variety of resources to cater to our individual needs—a lounge room, adequate cooking facilities, and very clean ablutions with no major concerns. We fully recommend it for those who are looking for a space to rest and recover, an added bonus is waking up and heading over to the cafe for a hot breakfast.

This is a very rural and not very touristed area of New Zealand. If you want very fresh air, and very quiet surroundings with no sound except birdsong, this is the place. Views and scenery are very attractive without being spectacular. Make sure you fill your car with petrol and pack snacks. Some of the rural towns are very small and you won't necessarily find a cafe or a petrol station. Having said that, if you spot a cafe, it will probably be pretty good. I cannot get over how cafes in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand still have great coffee and delicious food.

A very relaxing place so quiet huge garden NO TV Plenty of room for a group. The Villa is like going back in time. A warm place but has wood fire that warms the whole house!! Would stay a week next time. Plenty of space for my dog to roam safely!!!
