Our stay was great. Everything was as described, Bruce and his wife were very friendly, and the place is far enough out of town to have quiet but is just a couple minute drive to town for a mess of good restaurants. The driveway is marked so it's easy to find regardless of which way you're going. And a 12 min drive to Hobbiton, which we followed up with a glow worm cave tour just an hr away. Easy to beat the long drive from Auckland and have a relaxing cabin stay.
