We had a lovely and relaxing stay at Josie's place. The additional touches were welcome after a long day of driving (such as quality breakfast items in case they were needed, welcome messages, condiments, eco bathroom and cleaning products) and throughout our stay.
Communication was a breeze leading up to and during the stay. I would highly recommend her place and would stay again. I have stayed at a few baches in NZ and this is by far one of my favorites.
Ps Thank you for the recommendation of 'The Good Life' store in Dargaville - can't rave enough to anyone who would listen about their scones, coffee and sandwiches :-)
