Sandy's place was wonderfully spacious and clean with well thought out amenities to make our stay as comfortable as home. The hot water beach was a 2 minute walk away and at night the starlit sky was unbelievable! There's even an endangered eel in the stream that runs through the lovely yard. Our stay at Sandy's was the highlight of our whole trip to NZ. I only wish I could have stayed a month! PS I hope you don't mind that we fed the chickens our burnt toast.
