We stayed for 1 night at Tim's house and wish it could have been more. The house is modern,extremely spacious and well equipped. The house was very clean.The bed was comfortable . The kitchen is well equipped. The garden is large and well designed with decking on 2 sides. There are wonderful views of the mountain ranges and the sea. The night sky was bursting with stars - there is almost no light pollution and the glory of the milky way in full display. It is so quiet in this house that a dropped pin would be called a racket! Tim was an excellent host. I had booked long before the earthquake. He kept me up to date on the road situation. We were coming down from Nelson so our drive had become significantly longer post earthquake, Tim agreed to let us reduce our stay from 2 nights to 1, allowing us to break the journey down into more manageable lengths. The check in procedure was very straightforward.
