Rapaura Watergardens

A perfect start to our New Zealand vacation. Please be aware that you will have no cell phone service but that is part of the allure.

Beautiful garden views, well appointed spaces and excellent service.

This is a really beautiful place to spend a few nights. Setting is in a rainforest with waterfall and lovely gardens. It is a unique experience that is hard to find now. Sacha is a wonderful host.

Beautifully quiet and peaceful. Great spot to recharge in.

We had a great stay.

Amazing gardens with long walks, ponds, sculptures, ducks, waterfalls. Very quiet and out of the way. Host left very nice fixings for breakfast and read very friendly and helpful.

Amazing hosts Sally and Sacha made us feel welcome and special. Excellent stay in a unique bush setting.

Beautiful gardens and the cottage was amazing. We were there for a friends wedding and the staff went above and beyond! Only advice would be to request a fan in the cottage, it was very warm well into the evening and as the cottages are surrounded by the garden and trees there are too many mossies to be comfortable leaving windows open

It is Paradise for us. We felt like a pair of Film Stars and relaxed completely after the busy family Christmas celebrations.

Such a stunning location with bush walks, tranquil gardens and lovely hosts.

All very good. Walk around gardens is a great way to relax.

If you want someplace and tranquility for a day or so this is the place, a rustic cottage set in beautiful gardens.

Lovely gardens and the nicest staff. Wonderful to swim on the waterfall!

Was a great environment. Nice cabin with lots of space. The free breakfast was a bonus waiting in our kitchen

Loger dans ce charmant cottage vaut le petit détour. Sacha et sa mère sont très accueillants. Qualité et propreté excellentes. Environnement super, jardin magnifique, chemin privé pour aller voir des cascades

Meillä oli mökki yhdeksi yöksi. Mökki oli iso ja siellä oli sähköt ja juokseva vesi. Aamupalatarvikkeet oli tuotu valmiiksi keittiöön. Oikein siistit tilat lukuunottamatta oleskelutilan kokolattiamattoa. Huomionarvoista että mökissä ei ole nettiä eikä telkkaria ja lähistöllä ei ole illallista tai kauppoja. Mökistä on mahtavat näkymät läheiseen metsään ja mäelle. Hintaan kuului myös Watergardenin sisäänpääsy (normaalisti taisi olla noin 15 dollaria), jossa etenkin lummeallas on upea. Ulkosalla viihtyvät myös useat sorsat/ankat joissa riittää ihmeteltävää.
