We traveled all over the north and south Island for a month and this was by far the best accommodation we had. The sunset experience out back was worth the cost of the stay, but Wendy was a great host as well. The place was clean and exactly as described in the photos. Wendy was communicative and helpful with local recommendations as well as kind when visiting. I would absolutely recommend this place. It is not walkable, but the quiet was exactly what we wanted and food/drink is maybe a 10 min drive.
