"Very enjoyable stay at the Country Nirvana, we got a wonderful tour around the host’s garden and got to pick some fresh fruit and veggies to have for dinner. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and very peaceful, plus Vinkal (the owner) was super helpful. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property!"

Our second time at this lodge. The room, hosts, cleaners, were all, excuse the accent, FENTISTIC! We just loved the heated floor tiles and heated towel rack, comfy bed, gorgeous kitchen, and relaxing double spa bath! Pillows for me were just a little too soft...but definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious holiday experience!!!

I had a one night stay and was impressed by the loveliness of the staff, the comfort of the room and the deliciousness and service of the Wahi staff. I was blessed to have a beautiful, sunny winter weekend and the way the room was set up made the most of the view. Effortless stay. Thank you.

Property is right in middle of city centre and easy walking distance to everyone. Car parking is available but $15 per night, which is a bit over the top.

Booked a one bedroom unit and the rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. I thought it would be noisy as we were close to the main road but the unit was very quiet. Check in was easy and the manager/owner was lovely and very helpful. Will definitely stay there again.

Pity about the welcome we received, which was very off hand. Rest of stay they were pleasant. First impressions count though. Lovely quiet relaxing stay.
