Elli and Dave were great hosts and I felt very comfortable sharing their home. It is a modest house but the room was very well appointed and Elli went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. I walked to their home as part of my travels on the Te Araroa Trail. That involved a side trip of about 1 km which came at the end of a very long day's walking. There are no shops or food places within easy walking distance so as noted in the listing you really need your own car if staying there. Fortunately I had food with me.
