Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to delay our visit twice but finally made it last weekend. How fabulous. Our host was Lukas and what an interesting chap he is. He makes the best canapes and irons the crispest sheets. Nothing is too much trouble. We had the farm view room with the balcony, but they are all lovely. We also met Wayne, the owner and heard his life story. The decor is beautiful as can be seen by the pictures, but nothing I can say would do it justice. We just loved it. Home away from home, but afraid our home is not so lovely.

Loved the relaxed peaceful environment, Anne was welcoming and friendly I would say a excellent host.
The Lodge was stunning and well appointed we were a bit spoilt as we were the only ones booked for that evening and had the luxury of having the entire place to ourselves.
The grounds were beautifully looked after which made for some fantastic photos, will definitely be coming back during summer to relax again

Absolutely beautiful home made even more fantastic by our wonderful host Anne. Anne shared her knowledge of the local area and gave us great recommendations for our stay around New Zealand. She prepared a wonderful welcome cheese board with wine and a delicious breakfast in the morning. We could not have asked for a better host and experience. We booked the farm view room and it was perfect for the two of us on our romantic getaway.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at The French Country House. We were so pampered by lovely Kay and felt relaxed from the moment we walked in. From the warm and personal welcome on the chalkboard at the front entrance to the bouquets of freshly picked roses in our room, we both dropped into the 'bliss zone'. Fabulous boutique touches for our overnight stay including a turned down room, candles lit, chocolates and rose buds on our pillows. Thank you for your warm hospitality Kay and for the delicious breakfast, home baking and freshly brewed coffee. We have an everlasting memory of our 23rd Wedding Anniversary to cherish. Cherie & Wil

French Country House is a magical place. Spacious and substantial, yet homey and friendly. The weather-worm wood in the beams and doors, and the steep stairs to the upper room (you'll make it) create a sense of stepping back in time. We were treated as casual royalty yet also left to our own space (she's got a great sense for that) to kick back from an otherwise busy trip. The view from the huge deck, looking across panoramic rolling farmland and woods to the harbor with it sharp peak, defies words. I begged to stay a second night, and we did. There's WiFi when you need it, but plenty of reason to ignore all screens during your stay.

An unforgettable stay here! An absolute stunning house with a superb view across Tauranga to the Mount! The only problem was the manager was ill and there were no staff. Wayne did look after us & ensure that we had what we required but they need to hire staff!

Very beautiful house and setting. Lavish furnishings and decor. Fine attention to detail in all regards First class and very warm and attentive hostess in Kay. Blissful. We would highly recommend this delightful house and location for a destress and relaxing break
