Great place to stay with some great hosts. Unique house set amoungst an amazing garden which is a stones throw away from the river. Not long after arriving we spent about half an hour roaming the grounds admiring Rorys stones sculptures and chatting to a friendly fantail who followed. The drive to Lake Kaniere is short and as scenic as the beautiful Lake... which would have been great to have a swim in. We fell asleep listening to a Ruru and frogs and left in the morning with a belly full of bacon and Hilkes homemade jam! Had a wonderful time.
