My partner and I originally booked this in advance, before any word on Cyclone Gabriele hitting NZ. We are very grateful despite the weather warnings that James and Jessie were still willing to host us both.
Our drive up on Friday late morning into the afternoon was amazing, and we were able to enjoy a local casual dinner from Hikurangi, one of their top known burger joints, alongside a sit-in-car quiet dinner. A very simple night.
Our Saturday flipped, despite all of this weather our hosts were great in communication, very helpful throughout this severe weather, always tried their bests with what they had to help us enjoy our stay.
Everything we could ask for in a hidden away location, with good surroundings and a peaceful/serene spot to enjoy, before all this weather, is exactly what Crane Road Cabin offered us.
Thank so much, we really appreciate it and hope under better weather circumstances we would love to stay in your lovely cabin.
