Vladimir's place is quite rural. Peaceful and great views of the neighbouring paddock and hills. The room, kitchenette and bathroom were very tidy and sufficient for our overnight stay. No cellphone signal or WiFi. Not sure if both were due to the effects of Cyclone Gabrielle. It was good to have an early night in. The hosts are lovely with limited English. They didn't really explain why we couldn't use the sauna. You have to go to Warkworth for any kind of food/takeaway. About 10min drive.
