This beautiful home is situated perfectly for exploring Kaikura, Hanmer Springs and Gore Bay. I thoroughly enjoyed talking and sharing adventures. I now have a list of places to see while I am still here. I really enjoyed their dog and their black and white cat, but neither of them were present the first night and I am sure they would not have been if I had any hesitancy about them. The views from their home are spectacular. I highly recommend staying here. You will seldom see such a spectacular home with such warm hosts.
