Shaun and Helen were lovely hosts, as were Murphy and Ruby (their dogs). We loved their place, a perfect combination of well appointed luxury and country charm.
There were great little details like a large tub, heated bathroom floors, and a wall heater (in case you don't want to fire up the wood heater) that really made it feel like the comfort of the guests was well thought out.
The bed was incredibly comfortable, might have been the best night's sleep we had in New Zealand.
The views from the property and right outside your window are spectacular, there's also a small private outdoor patio to further relish it. Just in case that's not enough you can take a short hike to the top of the hill to soak up a full 360.
Shaun and Helen had lots of literature and brochures about surrounding attractions and were helpful in assisting us in making bookings for what we wanted to do.
I only wish we could have stayed longer!
