Mike's place is the perfect place to stay if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing way to spend a few days. Close enough to town for supplies, but rural enough to appreciate all the Kiwi countryside has to offer. Our group of seven hardly spent any time inside, as the sheltered deck outside is so well appointed. The photos really don't do this place justice. Mike was a fantastic host - so friendly and welcoming, but also happy to leave us to it. He also had great communication before and after we stayed. Our group enjoyed it so much we're already talking about our next trip back there.
Thanks Mike, all the best for 2020!
