What a perfect place to regroup after a long flight, close enough to Auckland airport for an easy drive, yet in beautiful and peaceful countryside. Bruce and Linda are fantastic hosts: cheerful, chatty and great company. They were very happy to walk and talk us through their alpaca farm, and show us some of the local sights. The room is on the small side, but with a perfectly comfortable bed. Breakfast is exactly what we enjoy: fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, tea and good fresh coffee. If you enjoy peace and quiet, and companionable hosts, this is the perfect place for you.
