The farmhouse is on the edge of a small village, it's very spacious and has a lot of character. Golden Bay is walkable, about 25 minutes but you really need a car to explore properly. The host Arianne can arrange this as well as transfers, both of which I would recommend. Overall we had a great time although we had a slight issue towards the end of our stay when exceptionally heavy rain flooded the kitchen, one bedroom and to a lesser degree two bathrooms. We managed to clear it up but several items including some of our belongings were soaked.
Arianne assured us the maintenance issues that led to the flooding will be addressed. The only other thing I would say is that some of the kitchen facilities are a bit tired and lacking ie no breadknife and several items of crockery and glassware had cracks.
Overall though it's a lovely place to stay and with a bit of TLC could be exceptional.
