Ngarie is a gem of a host, generous and respectful. The little place that her and her partner offer is really special, too, with more unique touches than most. It's tucked away quite privately and the birdsong (for which it gets its name) is profound if you take time to sit on the sweet porch bench to listen! I don't need to go on about the shower, as so many have, but it was indeed divine. Occasionally there were sounds in the night of small animals scurrying from the trees onto the roof, but it didn't stop us from getting a great night's sleep in the comfy bed (and linens). Their small, two burner cooktop was really efficient and the kitchen was equipped nicely. The location was ideal; tucked away a bit, but close enough to everything such that you could head either direction to find some fun. It's quite tastefully put together, with charm and character, both. The bathroom is accessed from the porch, so it's not exactly 'en suite,' but that worked great for my daughter and myself, since she slept in longer and this arrangement offered a separate space to be. I wouldn't hesitate to go back!!
