Warmly welcomed by Brian and their lovely warm home with the open fire burning. An amazing location perched above the Waihou River with views across farmland.

The next morning we woke to a full cooked breakfast and a walk to the look out over the Wairere Falls which were in spectacular form. Before we left for the day Brian helped us in an attempt at enticing some of the resident eels from their hiding places. He was great with our lads (11, 13) with plenty of encouragement. Unfortunately we didn't see an eel though a rainbow trout said hello as she went past us in the stream.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend Kaimai Artstay.
