This was an excellent stay. The host was very helpful, and happy to talk. The venue would be lovely for a wedding, especially in summer when the garden is in full bloom.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay! The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. Our studio unit was spotlessly clean, well equipped and so cozy. The beds were amazing and comfy. The gardens were beautiful and such peaceful surroundings. Look forward to staying again

My husband and I stayed in the motel section of The Mill House for 2 nights. There are premium hotel rooms in the beautifully restored Mill House as well. These rooms don't tend to show up on hotel booking websites since they focus on the cheaper priced rooms. If you want to stay in the historic Mill House, you should call the hotel directly. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The gardens here are so beautiful. This place is right next to the River and a historic bridge built in the 1800s. I highly recommend staying here.

Historic old stone built mill in an amazing garden setting on a river bank. A profusion of flowers, shrubs and trees If you're a gardener you'll love it. Our host, Malcolm, regaled us with the story of the mill and the unique skewed arch bridge beside it. The unit in the garden was equipped with everything we could need and the bed was the most comfortable of any we had slept in so far in New Zealand. Thanks Malcolm

Booked twin room and received large family room which was cold and dark, due to length of stay wanted to change to opposite side which staff were unable to accommodate. Staff were freindly and good range of non cooked breakfast.

Booked online. Thought we were going to stay in nice old three storey "Mill House". Bit disappointed when accommodation was 100 meters away in much more modern unit. Even though unit was substantial distance from main south highway and parallel train line, noise penetrated the room which kept my wife awake. Asked owner about noise before we stayed and he said they were used to it, not a worry. Bed was huge but not comfortable.Total lack of hanging space, not even a towel rail in bathroom.

This a quiet location quite isolated location some distance from the nearest town, We were here to see the blue penguins. Very dark drive back to the Mill house at least minute drive. We stayed 2 nights and the 2nd day we used as a rest day as other than visiting the penguins and a ride on a vintage train there is not much going on. Back at the Mill House We relaxed on the deck area with a glass of wine and a short walk along the river bank.
