    This is a work of art, which you can stay at

    This is not a "lodge". This is a work of art, which you can stay at. Every aspect of the house interior is thoughtfully and aesthetically decorated using vibrant, warm colours and richly textured wood. The toilet's cistern is a fish tank (no, really!). The house is situated in a large and extraordinary garden filled with trees, flowers, water features, and sculpture. There is (of course) a large number of peacocks, which you can feed. Kitchen, bath, and toilet are shared but very well equipped, and very clean.

    Drea house with the most perfect garden.

    Upon entry the gates and eyeful of Lillies already put me in awe. The lovely Christie/Kristy greeted me and started giving all of us a tour around the inside of the house, where everything was designed , built, embellished and decorated by Thomas/Tomas himself. We were shown and curated about every little design in the house. Our room offered the most heavenly view over the little pond and a perfectly framed sight of all the flowers, of the garden, and of the turquoise water of the lake. The house was filled with the scent of all the Lillies brought into the house, placed in vases. The garden came with many 🦚🦚🦚🦚, with also a few white ones, and a white 🦚 mother with her white little chooks. The 🦚🦚🦚 would gather and call as soon as you start to provide some food, which is placed in tubs on the upper garden paths . The ducks &/or geese would show up here and there. The chickens love a good feed. The fresh eggs tasted beautiful. I could definitely have them everyday. Overall, this is my dream house filled with flowers and meaningful designs. The garden is wonderful but definitely shows how much work it takes for T/homas to grow them over the years and care for it all ... If I had the money I would surely be a buyer.

    Very unique place. It was worth a visit and stay in and of itself. Amazing garden, outside art.

    It was great. Something like Hundertwasser meets Hobbits. You can stay in the garden for an hour or more with out getting bored. That's quite impressive as I am not into gardens that much.

    It was a little away from any shopping or anything else for you might need on short notice but knowing that is a small price to pay.

    This is a place like no other place I have ever seen and I visit over 84 counties so far. Everything around it reflected a mens vision and a life time commitment to build it.

    Although it didn't bother me, the guest room had smoky smell from the fireplace. However, not an issue for me but for others visiting, maybe.

    Everything about it. Wonderful experience. Thomas and Christy are gracious hosts. The place is truly one-of-a-kind that anyone would find in the world.

    Nothing - we loved it all.

    This is a unique experience where the facilities are more than adequate and user friendly. The interior decoration, the garden and the sculptures are amazing. The environmental philosophy and concern for the planet are evidenced everywhere in the incredible interior decoration and outdoor gardens created by the artist owner.

    Such a fun place to stay. Easily the best accommodation we stayed in during our 3 week NZ trip. So much quirky personality and ingenuity put into everything- the garden, the statues, even the toilets. It was all very beautiful. The gardens were amazing to stroll around. It was a lot of fun feeding the peacocks. Also, the couple hosting us were so friendly! We got so much interesting back story to everything. It was a really special stay.
