Ann and Bernie keep a wonderful home and they are great hosts. Ann's place is a true homestay...they are right there in the house with you for anything you need but gave us privacy and space whenever we wanted it. It was a great spot to clean some laundry, soak in the spa bath and relax in the quiet. We were doing a few nights on the rail trail and their place is very close to Clyde, where we were going to start our bike ride. Ann set up a lovely breakfast in the morning, right off the kitchen and was helpful on giving us tips and suggestions on places to visit in the area. For a real kiwi homestay, with no stress, definitely check them out.
