We spent two nights here on our honeymoon in late September and it was truly spectacular. Everything was as advertised, if not better. Freya the host was amazing, my only regret was that we didn't get to meet her! The history of he house is incredible. It is a reasonable walk into town but a harder walk back due to the steepness of the hills! Very cheap taxi or uber back though. The view of Mt. Wellington out the front verandah is INCREDIBLE! You will not regret staying here - if only for Freya's jam.
