A perfect example of Kiwi hospitality. Kate and her husband were quick to put us at ease when we contacted them to say our arrival would be much later than expected. Arriving in the deep dark of the countryside we were given a warm welcome by Kate's husband who showed us the essentials then left us to enjoy the pre-warmed room and super comfy bed. Waking up on our first day in NZ to glorious countryside, friendly pets and an impressive array of breakfast options was a treat. Such amazing value. Also loved the outdoor(ish) bathroom ... felt like camping, but without the annoying bits!
