My wife booked this for one night for a family roadtrip holiday around northland. She did not mention we had a baby as this was not on the booking form. Nowhere on the sight did it say it was not child friendly. We arrived after a long drive from Auckland to a very hostile "welcome". Robyn was clearly very anxious about our one year old 'breaking' the room even though he has stayed in much nicer accomodation, she eventually was 'ok' to have us but we felt so unwelcome we left. We had our own food for him and portacot and he would have been going to bed very shortly after arriving there. This was not an easy decision as Rawene is literally in the middle of nowhere. We ended up staying at a backpackers, which to Robyns credit she recommended. Think carefully about booking this and don't be fooled by the other good reviews. This is not 'luxury or boutique' as we have experienced it. Quaint, quirky and ok would be more accurate descriptions. Dishevelled gardens and not in walking distance to anything. Not as presented online, and the worst part was the rude host.
