Ben’s house is incredible. The design in unique and interesting, and the setting serene. Ben’s house instructions are very intricate but I felt that no stone was left unturned in his communication to ensure our stay was stress free. The house is far away from pretty much anything, but it was perfect as a retreat. We loved walking down to the water, or sitting on the patio enjoying the scenery. We spent one day enjoying Stewart island while we were here, and it is only a 15 min drive to the ferry. Absolutely worth the money to stay here.
