Very good made you feel that you were part of the family. The premises are excellent. However, it is a long long-way from the airport and city centre. He realised this and having no car ourselves he went out of his way to pick-up dinner for use; please note you have to pay him for what ever you order. If you are staying more than one night the pool and garden are great to relax in. He is of French birth and the house has a real pleasant touch of rural France. Obviously, his choice of wine is excellent though he promotes NZ wine and he shares it with you. The surrounds of the area is clean and you have no trucks and general city noise. There is no supermarkets and shopping towns within walking distance. Though a bus stop is near by. The cost of the room is excellent and of good value. The bathroom is next to your bedroom The bed is comfortable and the room is tidy and spotless.
