We really enjoyed our stay. There were other people on the property but far enough away it still felt like we had plenty of our own space. We were a little confused when we booked if it was two actual bedrooms or not, but it isn’t which we clarified before we came. If part of your group is happy on a bed in the lounge or in a tent next to the house then this is a good option for your holiday. There is a lovely covered outdoor area which is where we spent most of our time when home. The kitchen was well stocked with cook and bake ware and when we didn’t have the basic pantry items we needed, Shanti sorted that for us. We fed the chickens and enjoyed some lovely fresh eggs. Location worked well for us, close to Takaka. Walking distance to Pohara beach and short drive to other lovely beaches.
