Lorraine's place was much larger than we expected and a nice treat. New and sparkling clean with modern appliances and bathroom facilities---especially the sauna-like shower. Although we arrived quite late, Lorraine met us with a warm smile and we felt very welcome from the get-go. Lorraine and her husband are experienced trekkers and we delighted in hearing their stories and taking in their suggestions on visiting NZ on foot. Check-in and check-out was as easy as could be. The bed was comfortable. Despite being winter, the place was cozy and warm. Highly recommend staying here!
