Karen, Evan and their daughters were very welcoming and made sure that we were well taken care of during our two night stay. My friend has a gluten allergy and Karen happily accommodated this. They have a beautiful home and garden, very secluded but only a five minute drive to the beach and a 15 minute drive into Dunedin so we had the best of both worlds. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet, we had our own bathroom and were able to use the washing machine which was very useful when you're travelling. Everywhere was very clean and tidy and I would recommend them as hosts.
