The caboose is absolutely gorgeous! We found everything in perfect and clean condition when we arrived. The 2 dogs didn't even bark once, and didn't bother us at all. The garden is a lovely addition to the caboose, feels completely remote even tho you are in the hosts backyard. Lisa and Peter are such lovely people, we had a nice chat with them and they made us feel very welcome but also giving us space! Perfect combination! The golden Bay Area is beautiful but keep in mind that the drive from motueka is quite long and the roads are windy (1h). We stayed 2nights, had a BBQ and fresh lemons from the lemon tree and we only regret not staying longer.
