Bob and Kanako were warm, patient, and accommodating hosts, who gave great recommendations on sights to see in the area and were more than happy to talk through anything.
The bach itself was stunning - clean, amazing views, well equipped. Location was perfect too. I felt it was private enough - there was a curtain and a locked downstairs door separating the downstairs unit, but we didn't notice any noise or smells and it didn't bother us.
It's worth being aware that our heavy 2WD rental van struggled on the gravel driveway. If this is what you're using have a chat to Bob about it - he was very accommodating and offered to drive our bags down to where we parked on the street if we needed it.
We loved Golden Bay and I would stay at this place again!
