The feeling of a secluded retreat, Tui chirping nearby, rooms beautifully decorated, beds comfortable, and the restaurant was delicious. The view? Outstanding so very beautiful! Service was excellent, we highly recommend.

We booked this place for just one night as it was the closest to the alpine crossing we were doing next morning. We arrived very late, it was already dark, and were greeted by a very friendly owner. The real surprise was in the morning when we woke up to a beautiful view from the window. We would have definitely stayed here for longer enjoying the restaurant, swimming pool and having drinks on the balcony.

Nice retreat with an awesome view to help unwind and ground yourself. Quick drive over to Turangi for supplies and you're set. Bit pricey, but I would love to come back again. Just remember to close the house up at dusk as the bugs here love the indoor lights.

We got married at Oreti earlier this month and I can not recommend Fleur and her team more highly. The view and food were amazing and no problem was too big for them to sort out - thank you so much for having us again! We will be up for many dinners and to reminisce.
