Liz was a very warm, welcoming and helpful host. Location was great, though it was private and self contained, it was a lot closer to their home than expected. This didn't take anything away from the experience at all. We enjoyed exploring the property, there are many native birds and eels in the stream. It's only 5 min from Kerikeri and 20min from Paihia, you can walk to Rainbow falls and all your amenities are near by. The bed is really comfortable and the house is sun facing so you literally get the sun all day, and the stars are beautiful at night. I'd stay here again without a second thought :)
