The few nights we spent in Sharon and Rory's home were some of best during our month in NZ. Sharon is a gracious and generous host and she and Rory took extra steps to make us feel welcome and help us with local excursions. For our last night we had a 'candlelight' dinner on the patio so we could thoroughly enjoy the ambiance of this place. Friends had booked Sharon's upstairs apartment so the downstairs unit made for a great 'family' space. We had a car but it stayed parked in the garage the whole time we were there. It's a long walk or a short cab ride to town. If we ever find our way back to this wonderful part of the world we would stay here again. We can highly recommend Sharon's place.
