We loved unwinding at the little house! We have been on the road for 2 weeks and in an RV for the most part- being able to spread our legs in such a beautiful place and such a comfortable home was physically and emotionally restorative! We can highly recommend staying a few nights in either winter (basking in the sun and in front of the fireplace) or summer (swimming at Gore beach). Thank you Liz and Michael- we really enjoyed our stay and if we find ourselves in NZ again we will certainly visit again.
