The Gingerbread house was our home for a bit over a week and we cannot recommend this place enough. Nicci and Miles are very kind, generous, friendly, welcoming hosts and it was a pleasure to meet them. Our children absolutely loved the chocolate-making party (I would like to think that adults would enjoy it too) and their chocolate room, their eyes were wide open when they saw it the first time.
Nicci has put little details and cute touches in the decor everywhere and it's so nice. We can't wait to see what the house will look like when everything is finished but we have no doubt it will be amazing. Like others said, the bathroom is very nice and the pressure in the shower is fantastic ! I will miss it for sure...
The land around is so calm and relaxing, there's a cute river to walk by, the night skies are epic (must-see) and there are gorgeous views on the volcano. Ōkato is a surprising little village that has a lot more than it looks and we were pleasantly surprised during the whole week. Stay a weekend, yes, you'll love it, but stay a week or more and you might never want to leave ! :D
