Great family getaway ;)
The property deserves its name! The views are brilliant - From Sunrise to Sunset and even deep into the night! The bedrooms we comfy & appointed well - each with great views! It was great to have a separate TV room for the teens which wasn't in the main family area! Outdoor entertaining areas & garden were wonderful all all 2 legged and the 4 legged family members. Thank you Lucy! You were a delight to connect with prior to and at the end of our stay :)

Beautiful spacious house with awesome views
We loved this beautiful property, was ideal for our group of 10 friends for a winter weekend getaway. House was beautifully furnished and so comfortable with all the amenities we needed. There already large windows everywhere with views of the surrounding countryside. We self catered and the kitchen was really well set up. Bedrooms were warm and comfy. Communication with Lucy was great, she was helpful, friendly and informative. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful
Photos do not do it justice. Loved it from the moment we opened the door. The ceiling to floor windows and the view makes this such a marvellous place to sit back and watch the kangaroos, rabbits and foxes. Best part is the short stroll to the Gisborne Peak Winery. Loved this place and will definitely come back.
