Its been a long time since I've been somewhere where at night you can look at the sky and not hear a single man-made sound.....no distant traffic - only nature. And sheep.
Deb and husband have a working farm. The environment is rustic farm stay, the accommodation nicely done, clean and tidy, with as much privacy or hospitality as you like.
We brought raw pizzas to try out the pizza oven, which Deb set up for us. Best pizza experience ever. Highly recommend doing likewise.
Beautiful public outdoor eating/cooking/pizza-ing area (covered), also a lovely private outdoor lawn area with seating (open) outside the accommodation.
The property is well off the beaten track, which suited us for getting away from it all, exploring a few quiet local beaches and the 'Three Sisters' rock formations and beach - highly recommended.
Overall a very kiwi experience, classic down-to-earth kiwi hosts and some endearing good-natured old working dogs keen for a pat. We had a great time.
