Daryl is a very friendly and welcoming man who strives to make you feel at home. He was happy to let us cook in his kitchen and gave us a tour of his vineyard which was very interesting, and also try some of his excellent wine! The room is very spacious, and the bed is exceptionally comfortable. Private bathroom and shower room are both great. Definitely go and experience Daryl’s home. It’s in a good location for travelling up to Kaikoura or across Arthur’s or Lewis’ passes.
