This was a highlight of our NZ trip. We managed to book Sam's place at the very last minute, because we didn't like where we were staying before. It was honestly the best airbnb stay we had! The studio is spacious, immaculately clean, filled with light and designed in a very cool way. No hotel feel or IKEA slave here... it actually really looked like a upscale design hotel, yet simple and straightforward. Then the fact that it is brilliantly located - very close to some of the best NZ sights and in an absolutely stunning location. Finally, we were there with our two kids - 7 & 9 - and the experience of being on a farm was magic. The petting zoo was just outside our accommodation! All the animal looked like they are in a spa - happy and relaxed. I have never seen such a "happy" working place. Sam is an amazing and inspirational lady - with lots of projects under her belt, yet very humble and approachable. We loved it there!!!
