we really enjoyed our 2 week stay at Sally and John's place, as we were relocating to the area from coromandel. It had all the amenities we needed, including a provided high chair for our 10 month old baby. We enjoyed exploring the peaceful area which was a short distance to Mapua and Upper Moutere galleries and cafes, with many fresh fruit stands and orchards along the way. Mana the dog was delightful, as were the sheep in the paddock beside the property. The sunsets and gardens were stunning.
