This is a real 'hidden' gem and we found ourselves wanting to stay longer. The house is an attractive and comfortable place to relax and explore the Hawke's Bay area. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped and the kitchen appears to be nearly new. We were welcomed in person and shown around and were left some provisions to get us settled in. Since the weather wasn't great, we were able to get cosy in front of the roaring log burner and our children (aged 11 and 15) enjoyed reading the books and playing card games. Jane and Larry were excellent hosts and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!
