This is an excellent place to stay if you are hiking the Queen Charlotte, taking in the wineries of Marlborough, or just want a quiet place to relax for a few days. Marcel and Debbie are friendly, engaging hosts who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have all information necessary for whatever activities you desire. The place is well-equipped, with everything you need for self-catering. It is also beautiful and comfortable. As the listing notes, Marcel will share some of his passions (sailing, paragliding) with guests. The weather wasn't ideal for sailing when we visited, but I did get a lesson in paragliding. Would stay with again, without a doubt.
