The place was perfect to relax, a great way to enjoy a life in the country with tracks next to the house that you can either have a short walk or some exercise. The food that was prepared for us was delicious, it was more than what we expected. They were very generous and very nice people. Mary is also very lovely, my 2yo niece had the most fun. A bit far from the main road and was in gravel road for 20mins coming from kai iwi, but was just a short gravelly road going back to auckland. The hosts were respectful of our space and was very quick to respond to our hot water problem. Would definitely recommend, for a sweet escape from the city. Totally great value for money.
