As this property is surrounded by orchards you should be aware that there is a possibility that large scale industrial spraying can occur. During our stay we experienced drift from this spray that forced us to retreat indoors and close all windows. One of my kids suffers from asthma and if I'd known of the spraying I would not have booked this place. I also looked into the practice of spraying and the local government regulations and it is a requirement that spraying is notified - see https://www.hbrc.govt.nz/our-council/news/article/729/spraying-responsibly-this-season Following up with this with Lynette in several detailed messages, she said she would look into the content of the spray with the orchard owner however nearly two weeks after my visit she has not done this which I found disappointing. Asking locals, I was also told this was not the first instance of this occurring. The area is lovely but my lasting memory was the concern over what was being sprayed and possible impact on me and my family.
