Rob and Margaret will exceed all your expectations. They have practically rebuilt their entire home and now a separate building with the rental studio. You can tell the love they put into every detail of their home and property. The studio has touches of luxury for country living like a heated towel rack, spacious shower, and kitchenette.
Before moving to the country, they owned a restaurant then traveled the country before finding their dream property. They have a lush vegetable garden and developing fruit trees. Plus there are cows! Adorable cows that can be seen from the studio deck whole having morning coffee or and evening glass of wine or beer.
We recommend to prearrange dinner with Rob and Margaret. Between their past experience running a restaurant and all their fresh produce from their land, the meal will be amazing. Plus, it is a drive to the nearest town for a restaurant and at the end of the day, it is nice to have someone else cook for you.
Rob and Margaret are there to make your stay enjoyable and easy. Before we arrived, they provided recommendations not in the guide book which were breathtaking. Upon arrival, they showed us around and let us freshen up before dinner. The dinner conversation was full of interesting facts of the area and laughter. They also provides tips and directions for our upcoming day. Having a personal travel agent made everything so easy.
The studio may be off the beaten track but it will be worth the small drive to enjoy not only a comfortable space but also engaging hosts and a relaxing country atmosphere.
Plan to stay at least 2 or more days. It is a perfect location to make day trips to the beach, Rotorua, Hobitown, and more.
