Hostess was awesome and friendly.An amazing example of hospitality. The home made treats were a bonus as well as the offer to heat croissants in the oven after specifically going out to buy them. I decided after more thought to decline the continental breakfast and opted to move on and have a cooked breakfast at our destination in Tekapo. The effort to accommodate and the extra touches were much appreciated. Will An interesting and beautiful home and garden. Extremely relaxing venue.Will definitely be back

Felt awkward leaving dirty dishes after take outs with no facilities to clean them.

Amazing place to stay. The bedroom is beautiful, big comfy bed and you have exclusive use of a huge lounge and breakfast room with everything set out so you can help yourselves! Julie provides homemade treats to have for afternoon tea and little chocolates etc the bathroom and shower are great and there's even bath robes to use. We loved it 😁 There's no provision for cooking but we got a takeaway and Julie gave us plates etc and did the washing up! There's also 2 recommended restaurants in the village. We arrived in Geraldine expecting a basic overnight stay but this place is the best we've been to yet!!

Loved it all!

Everything was perfect and more! What a lovely surprise this place is! We felt very well looked after, breakfast was delicious (with home-made muesli!), cozy and clean. We had our own bedroom, full bathroom, lounge and breakfast room. Julie is a fantastic host, kind, thoughtful and the place is decorated with many incredible details. Beautiful garden right outside your bedroom, the most comfortable bed we ever slept in and close to all town amenities.

That we only stayed for one night ❤️. Loved it!

Julie was an amazing host, so friendly and welcoming. The house and garden was beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and so were the little snacks she provided. She, and Mason the dog, made us feel at home and we would happily stay with her again the next time we are in Geraldine. I can highly recommend Hewling's Manor as a great place to stay.

Nothing. Everything was great

This was a very last minute booking and Julie was In touch almost immediately with key collection information. [Very reassuring as we were already 'on the road'.] As soon as we walked into the garden and then into the house, we knew we'd picked something special. Add Julie into the equation and we knew we'd got it right. Julie is kindness personified. Nothing is too much trouble for her. We felt privileged to share her lovely home..

Nothing not to like

Julie certainly has a flair for authenticity. Her house is just as you would expect a great old place of its age to be. It was very warm and comfortable with lots of little surprises and treats like welcoming chocolates on the bed. There were plenty of selections for breakfast and Julie's home-made muesli was superb. A very large selection of DVDs and CDs gave plenty of options for entertaining yourself. Julie was extremely warm and inviting and was always available. Would definitely have no hesitation staying here again.

Julie is such a warm hearted woman, who does everything for her guest. It was so fantastic, almost everything is perfect. Had a super delicious breakfast ( I adore that bitter Marmelade), a nice bathroom for my own, a gorgous porch and could use a part of the beautiful garden as well. What a paradise.

There are some spiderwebs on the outdoor furnitures. Therefore I cannot - according to another accommodation- give a 10. I. would give 9,5 points.

Julie’s place was simply divine , from the moment you walk through the manicured gardens to your amazingly beautiful room with outside verandah , keep going down the hallway to a very charming lounge and breakfast room to relax and enjoy your stay , we thoroughly appreciated all the little things Julie has done to make your stay one to remember 😊

Julie is an amazing host. The property has real world charm. The bathroom is amazing and there's nothing that Julie hasn't thought of. I was trying to listen for a clue that anyone else was in the house in the morning, I heard nothing. There's little in the way of street noise and yet it's still quite close to the town centre. Super comfy bed and lots of little treats. I wish I'd stayed longer.

Nup, nothing to see here.

What a fabulous place, full of old charm. Not only do you get a delightful bedroom and bathroom with a claw foot bath as well as a shower, but also the private use of a large lounge room and kitchenette. Lovely touches in the room and a yummy supper surprise in the fridge. A great breakfast with lovely home made muesli and local jams & preserves. Thank you so much, I really hope we get the chance to visit again for longer. Julie and Mason make a fabulous team
