Brian and Carol are awesome hosts who offer a quality stay in an easy-going, natural way. They are genuinely interested in their guests and easy to talk with. Our bed was very comfortable to sleep in and the ensuite was great to use. It's a great set up for breakfast, providing a separate space for guests to sit and eat, or to relax and read in an easy chair looking out onto the gorgeous garden. A great environment to come back to after a day's exploration of Taranaki - the jacuzzi was a real treat after a hike! We really enjoyed our 6 days there!
