Al is a fantastic host. He even cooked me a meal after a long day of walking from Waihola. So it saddened me to have to cancel. I was looking for a long term stay in a peaceful location with room for yoga and creative space. Mainly due to the constant stream of traffic noise on Brighton Rd, including hoons, I couldn't stay. I see it as a great little summer place for a short term stay for someone with a car, not for someone on foot. Thanks Al for your generous hospitality.
