We stayed for one night on our way to Wellington to break up the journey. There was 4 of us and a 2 year old. The hosts were lovely and very flexible with our arrival time (and check out time) and very friendly and accommodating when we arrived. The house is in a perfect spot and its very quiet. We arrived fairly late and had a very overtired 2 year old with us so unfortunately I did not get to spend much time with him, but what time I did was friendly and lovely. He was not at all put out by our son and sensed the urgency to get him to bed and helped accordingly. He also gave us a lot of space to use the lounge and AMAZING deck to ourselves so we didnt feel at all like we were sharing the space with the landlords. The landlords room is separate to the rooms they rent out which nice too. What makes this place so special is the beautiful deck with amazing views. It is so peaceful - and massive. The bed and pillows were great the room had a nice decor. Our room easily accommodated a travel cot too. Breakfast was great - homemade museli was delish - though if you arent into museli I'd recommend to bring your own breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place.
