We had a lovely peaceful stay. Lisa and her husband were incredibly accommodating arranging an early check in when we hadn’t slept for 36 hours and desperately needed sleep. Lisa was also very responsive and helpful with recommendations and anything we needed. The location is in a secluded area of woodland with chickens roaming around and the sound of birds throughout the night which we loved - but bear in mind there’s a few creep crawlies in the bathroom at night so this is definitely one for the nature lovers! There is also no bottled water provided, only the outside tap which we weren’t sure if we could safely drink from so we’d recommend bringing some. Access wise the bus is a 25 minute walk away or there are taxis but they are a little pricey, this place is better suited if you have your own car (we didn’t) or hire e-bikes. We just choose to walk lots and enjoyed sunset at batch winery (5 mins away) one evening up the road. Overall a lovely stay and start to our NZ trip!
