The spacious tent in the middle of the very green garden with fruit trees (we could pick plums!) was a lovely surrounding. Shanti, her daughter Isla and the very kind woofer Natasha made us feel so welcome. Despite the bad weather we had a perfect stay, thanks to Shanti who invited us to cook and have dinner at her house. One little thing: we're more the kind of people who like to have privacy. Because of sharing the bathroom and the tent is situated between the road and the house, it's not that private.
In the surrounding we would highly recommend to go to Wharariki Beach. Awesome and quiet beach with stunning views. And the grove, which is really nearby and nice to explore as well.
