We booked to stay at Karl's place coming off a night time ferry. It's only 35 -40mins from the ferry and while a bit out in the country was easy to find. We arrived in the dark but were able to easily access the key box and it wasn't until the morn that we realised the train travelled close by. It was so peaceful and quite all night.
The unit is attached to the main house but also very private. The area was very spacious with a full kitchen and laundry. A bed comfy king size bed and spacious ensuit.
All this for a very affordable price. We wish we were staying longer rather then having to head off next morn. Great place for coming off the ferry especially if heading over to Wairarapa.
