Hinemoa was an amazing host, always accommodating our needs & easy to
communicate with. We arrived late, tired & hungry after driving 8hrs from Auckland. The fire was going, it was so warm and cosy. Also, a lovely surprise to have a cheese platter, wine and a lovely lasagna waiting for us! We loved sitting outside taking in the amazing views. A beautiful spacious home, perfect for our bridal party & everything we needed. Hope to come again in the future.

Wow! What a beautiful location to
have our friends & family for our
wedding! Thank you Hinemoa and Bruce
for the outstanding hospitality for
making our wedding week an
absolute dream. From the
agapanthus in bloom, the beautifully
manicured lawns, the birds chirping;
the sun glistening off the pool, out
guests couldn’t stop raving about the
location. Thank you for making Takahi
Orchard such important & special
part of our day – our Canadian
whānau will be raving about it for
years to come! Ngā mihi Aaron & Robyn

This is a gorgeous house located in an amazing New Zealand farm style nature. House was so spacious and very well designed and decorated and very clean. the host was such a lovely woman who was so responsive and very open to our requests. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to make a memorable experience of leaving a few days out of busy cities and enjoy the peace of the Aotearoa nature. Being not too from Gisborne also made it easy for having short trips and seeing the town.
Ngā mihi Hinemoa & Bruce for giving
us such a beautiful location and experience for our work retreat. We’ll be back!
Noho ora mai.
