Kim was an excellent host, very friendly and had put a lot of thought into all the details. The bed was very comfortable, and the outdoor shower was fantastic! Very good selection of stuff for breakfast - homemade bread, jam, eggs from Kim's chickens, home grown grapes etc. Kim also made some excellent suggestions of what to do in the area. The only thing that we noticed (that obviously didn't bother other people) was the noise of the traffic. I guess traffic noise can be heard so much more when sleeping in a tent. I think we probably heard it more because we both were bothered by sand fly bites that we picked up earlier in our travels (definitely not when we were staying at Kim's - that was the one place in NZ that we didn't get bitten!), so we weren't sleeping as soundly as we might have done otherwise. So I can definitely recommend staying at Kim's but if you are a very light sleeper perhaps take ear plugs?
