Great hosts, so relaxing and peaceful. The chickens are fun to watch and their eggs are yummy. The river is a short walk (1-2 mins depending how much you want to get there) and the accommodation really comfy. No problem making a meal either with a well sorted kitchen area. Bed having a mosquito net was really helpful. Our dog loved the holiday: roaming the area, river-walking, beach sniffing - he didn't stop and for a 13yr old that's saying something! Poppy was so sweet visiting with her leaf for us. We visited Kaikoura (15 mins drive depending on stoppages) and enjoyed our break immensely. We'll be back - thank you both so much.
