Great spot but steep stairs

Really pretty gardens, patio and view. The bedrooms were on the bottom floor which was indicated but what was not made clear is that to get the luggage from the car to the bedrooms you had to go down a steep set of stairs. We ended up leaving our luggage on the main floor. Otherwise it was a great stay

Thank you for your review, we're pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Matau Crest. Thank you for your feedback regarding the interior stairs, we understand these are fairly steep and we will try to make this clearer for our guests. Safe travels!
