Deluxe Room

The Deluxe is the room we put most first-time guests in, and the one they ask for by name when they come back. It sits on the sunny side of the Badgran house, so the first light comes in over the orchard and lands on the bed — in winter that early warmth is the whole point of the room.

Inside it's warm timber and a vaulted pine ceiling, a proper king bed made up with layered quilts, and a couple of persimmon-toned pieces on the wall that the room is named for. Step out and the apple rows start a few metres from the door; the mountains hold the skyline beyond them.

We'll be honest about size, because we'd rather you arrive happy: this is a cosy, well-made room built for sleeping deep and waking to the view, not a sprawling suite. The bathroom is compact but the hot water runs 24×7, and the room heats up fast on a cold night.
