Excellent facilities, host was very helpful.
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.

Wonderful stay!
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

Nice hotel/motel with a lot of history
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.

Motel unit in beautiful garden
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
