From start to finish, Richard truly was a deli ght to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble (later check-in after driving up from Wellington, flexible breakfast time & checkout, helpful suggestions, late night cuppas...) I felt like I was staying with a friend who genuinely cared about my comfort. The bed was super comfy and Richard is friendly and engaging. It truly was a pleasure meeting you and was the perfect place to stop for the night. Believe the reviews, you'll struggle to find a more natural host!
