I can't say enough good things about Sandi's. Not only was the whole room as lovely as the description, it was better. You're surrounded by a beautiful and quirky garden. And Sandi and Mark are open, warm, funny, and generous hosts. If you want a private getaway, there is a feeling here that you can relax in privacy if you want. If you'd like to get to know some cheery and interesting New Zealanders, they're ready to chat and help you figure out where to go. They really care about you having a good time. And Sandi is a GREAT cook!
