We did enjoy our stay at Kim´s place, the nature surroundings, morning sounds of the birds was beautiful. It is a bit a drive from the city, which has a charm and tranquillity coming with it. Given you are in the midst of the forest, you need to accept some insects, thankfully nothing harmful :-). Getting up in the morning looking into the bush is a beautiful experience. What we thought was very thoughtful is the amount of great books in the room available to prepare yourself for a great stay in New Zealand.
