Archer House is a beautiful old villa, kept as though it is a museum piece. The owners and managers don't live on site so in fact you feel like residents in this grand and comfortable home. The decor is gorgeous and its warm and comfortable and great breakfast is served at the time you nominate when the hosts return to... More

We stumbled upon this gem and could not have been luckier. The house is a perfect combination of antique and modern, comfortable and exotic--absolutely beautiful. Jackie and Charles completely surpassed all our expectations and were perfect hosts. We really enjoyed visiting with them over our breakfast, which included delicious fresh-baked muffins. And to top it off, it was a great... More

We spent there one night on our honeymoon...speechless! The house is absolutely fabulous, such as the runners, very welcoming and kind. I really felt like a princess in my castle!

What a great find. After a few nights in motels, our stay at Archer House was just what we needed. Not only is the accommodation first class, Jackie and Charles were great hosts, and made us feel at home straight away. A step back in time, well located and great value. Heartily recommended.

The rooms have been tastefully renovated in keeping with its character and it was filled with antiques, art and artefacts from all over the world. The gardens were amazing and the house was... More

We used Archer House as a base to travel and carry out hill walks in the area. It is an old house for New Zealand standards and is well cared for and presented. The location is ideal but the best part are the hosts who ensure your trip is what you expect and are available for advice at any time.... More

Archer House is a really impressive heritage home that has been sympathetically restored, furnished and maintained, while at the same time providing the sort of amenities that make a stay here such a comfortable experience in the winter months. Heated floors and towel rails in the immaculate bathrooms as well as electric blankets on the beds add to the cosiness.... More
