I can highly recommend Jocelyn's Air B&B. We spent 2 nights there as a base for exploring Golden Bay and Farewell Spit. The location itself was lovely - beautiful surroundings with all the trees and total peace and quiet. The space was extremely comfortable - a separate lounge area with table - and very warm with our own heater / heat pump. The kitchen, while not large, was well equipped and allowed meals to be cooked with the hot plate and microwave. The rest of the space - bedroom and bathroom - were very clean and well appointed. The included washine machine also very handy.
But what sets this stay apart for us is the genuine warmth and friendliness of both Jocelyn and Russell. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made a real effort to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Little touches such as the loaf of bread and butter were very much appreciated. We would definitely return again were we to be in the area again. Thanks Jocelyn and Russell for a memorable stay.
