What a great 4 weeks my wife and i had in this wonderful house! Maxine and her family are amazing hosts. If you want to fully enjoy New Zealand nature in rustic and isolated, and yet very comfortable cottage - that's a perfect place. There we only two small problems. First - no cellphone connection in the house, but if you are on vacation, that's probably for the best. And second, every day it was very hard to convince ourselves to leave this place and travel around :)
