Trudiebeth's place is charming and idiosyncratic, like its owner!. The house has a wonderful feel, is very welcoming and provided a cozy refuge from the deluge of rain that followed us around NZ. It is close to Cathedral Cove - we walked there (stunning walk too). The garden and surrounds were lovely - it was great to be able to pick lemons and oranges from the trees in the garden and the kids loved cracking the macadamias! I imagine it would be especially appealling in summer because you could easily walk to Hahai Beach - be sure to try the ice cream shop next to Pour!
