We felt so welcomed by our host Deb who has a wealth of information about what to do and see in the region. Deb is an excellent communicator and there is information about local history and sights in the studio. Checking in and out was flexible and easy. The garden studio we stayed in is homely yet trendy/chic opening out onto a quiet garden with places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. The small lounge has lots of books, games and is comfortable. The bathroom is bright and clean. When we arrived there was some yummy snacks and Deb provided a variety of delicious and abundant breakfast food offerings which were delicious - eggs, home made bread, preserves, cereals, teas and coffee, milk and juice! The kitchen had everything we needed to make an evening meal. It was so relaxing after our road trip to sit in the tranquil garden with my tea, and to discover the chooks.
We had a great night's sleep on the super comfortable bed. The place is so quiet too. We totally recommend the Old Post Office as a comfortable, quiet place to stay and Deb is a super host. We would recommend staying several nights as there are lots of interesting things to do and see eg you need at least half a day to visit the Kauri Museum at Matakohe.
