Miranda was a wonderful host - I was sad to leave! The studio was warm and welcoming with good reading, local coffee and chocolate. Super comfy bed and toasty towels. Native birds all around- I fell asleep to morepork and woke up to tui. Zsazsa the dog is a friendly face and very obedient. Pop your car in low gear and you will zoom up the steep drive no problem:-). 100 percent recommend this place!
