The location of the house is on a hill with a nice view. Nevertheless, it's a 20 minutes drive to the center and due to the location of the house and especially the room it was impossible for us to sleep due to the noises of Wellington winds and bad weather that you can extremely feel in the room. Also, the family lives in the house so eating area has to be shared with them BUT only if you stay more than 5 nights. Otherwise you can't use their facilities or fridge.
