Every bite, every plunge, every yoga pose, or considered accessory or kind guidance and wonderful conversation- every moment of our stay at Te Arai was pitch perfect. With such consummate hospitality, and beautiful encouragement and design to make you feel you are a part of the family, the experience is both luxury AND comfortable. And yet, it’s much more luxurious than my own home! No shortcuts have been taken on creating an a**osphere of sumptuousness. The pillow menu, the lush linen robes, the nightly specialised chocolate from local artisans… little details to build a divine holiday. Will we back? Definitely, even if it’s just to grab a slice of Rebecca’s olive oil, lemon and rosemary cake.
