We loved our stay at Ruth's home - a perfect place to get over the journey from England. A beautiful large room, private and peaceful with a really comfortable bed, sofa and en suite bathroom and shower with access to the back garden (Nick saw his first Tui and Silvereye here). Ruth is charming and welcoming. She made delicious fresh bread for us and supplied home made muesli and lots of fresh fruit. Ruth knows the area really well and helped in our decisions on where to go whilst we were with her, lent us maps of the area.

The neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful and just a short drive to local shops and restaurants. And not far from the wild and wonderful west coast and the Waitakere Ranges a large area of beautiful native bush.

We liked it so much we're booking to stay with Ruth on our last nights before setting off back to England. We're looking forward to it. Thanks Ruth.

Annie and Nick
