A fabulous house in a fantastic location. Gary was really helpful and responsive with excellent local recommendations. We had a great meal at "Formally the Blackball Hilton" across the road, which had great kids options and vegetarian/vegan options. We had a great explore at the Waiuta mine Ghost Town and we loved the local walks, especially exploring the start of the Paparoa Track where we walked 30min in and saw native blue mushrooms and a swing bridge.
