Barbara was so friendly and inviting. The accommodations were amazing. Bed was comfortable, very clean space, and just a beautiful area. We only stayed a night and wish we were there longer to take advantage of all the tips/recommendations in her well thought out blue binder. My sister and I needed to make a phone call and Barbara helped us out without hesitation. She even allowed us to do laundry which we hung outside to dry in the New Zealand sun/wind out back. Even our clothes were happy with the stay! My sister loved Barbara’s guest book. I loved the body wash, little milk in the fridge, and all things being labeled as well as the usb converter charger allowing us to charge our devices since the adapter we brought with us was a fail. My least favorite was parking in the driveway as this was my first time driving on the left side and not knowing my angles made me very nervous. I took my time and all was well so more of a heads up to anyone driving in NZ first time, but definitely not a reason to not stay with Barbara. Just take your time like I did.
