I will keep this brief but could write an essay! Having done Airbnb for 6 years this will hands down be one of my favourite spots and most memorable stays yet!!.... The grounds, garden and space is out of this world and so wonderful to be around such warm, friendly, funny and creative souls as these two! From the beginning I felt so welcome In their home and Hilke has so much local knowledge of trails and walks that she made the experience for me far better than I could have planned myself!
You must walk around their grounds... Rory is an incredibly talented sculptor and the grounds and gardens are breathtaking.... jade carving is a must too in he town centre (Bonz and stones) as well as Lake kaniere in the morning and Hokitika gorge! Hilke is also amazing at massage and has a room at a spa location inthe town I cannot recommended her highly enough I felt so so relaxed and destressed after....
I had everything I needed and more and will never forget this stay...
Also buy and taste the food Hilke grows... I left in a hurry and forgot to get blueberries which I was kicking myself for days!
Wonderfully kind people living an enviously beautiful life.... I hope to come back some day you two are so special. X
