A beautiful and peaceful house nestled in the mountains. The hot tub was wonderful to relax in while watching the sun rise or stargazing. The house is spacious with lots of natural light. Some of the kitchen appliances were a bit tricky to work out and the furniture was a little hard, but overall the place was very comfortable. The surrounding area is a tiny, picturesque country town with lots of farms and forested area. We went on lots of long scenic drives to waterfalls (Waitui Falls and Ellenborough falls) that take you right into the heart of the forest. Keep in mind many of the roads in the area are gravel, but fairly easy to manage. Some roads that come up on GPS are closed or unmaintained, so prepare your routes in advance (we saved routes before leaving home and losing reception).
