    The view! The quality of the bed and ease of working in the kitchenette. The electric charging for our hybrid rental car. The hot tub and pool and beautiful gardens. The location for exploring national parks and reserves.

Private decks with breathtaking sunsets and sea views Grafton is a place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Its a peaceful setting nestled on the hills of Thames yet only 5 mins to town. We have uniquely designed self contained studios and one bedroom units.
We have owned Grafton since November 2012. We love working here and meeting people daily and sharing our piece of paradise with our guests. We are 'kiwis' but have spent a large amount of time living away from home travelling the world.
