Maryann is an outstanding host who genuinely enjoys helping people make the most of their stay.
The property, in the very pretty rural setting of Wentworth Valley, is attractive and the facilities - kitchen, bathroom - are modern, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The beach town of Whangamata is a short drive away.
The cute pods are cleverly positioned for privacy and outlook and are nicely presented. But they are really tiny. Three nights was probably one too many for two of us in such a cramped space. Without insect screens to enable us to keep the door open overnight, the small space tended to become a bit stuffy.
That said, I highly recommend this accommodation for the warm and generous hosts, the excellent facilities and the delightful location.
