Candy was the perfect host - friendly, amusing, and knowledgeable about the local area and Maori history. Communication from the time of booking to leaving the property was quick and friendly. Leaving the main road, we drove for 2 or 3 km on gravel before a short drive also on gravel to the property. Candy met us on the driveway and took us to the house, further up the hill. The car could be parked at the door, which made unloading suitcases easy. The house was spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable, and Candy showed us through all the rooms and where supplies were. The beds were comfortable and the two bathrooms clean and well-supplied. Many extras were supplied in the kitchen, which had a full-sized oven and fridge/freezer. Candy took us on a short walk through bush where we could see glow worms if we returned after dark. The views over native bush were glorious. We would stay here again, and would highly recommend it.
