The place is the best we have stayed at so far in New Zealand, and we have stayed at quite a few. We were deciding between staying at the beach in a smaller place or staying at Chris and Andrea's place with more space, and we definitely made the right choice. The place is really nice and peaceful, and the part of the house that is separated for renters has loads of space. They helped us out with dinner reservations too, and we enjoyed a steak special nearby at The Social. It's a couple miles off of the main road, but well worth it.
