Highly recommended. Hostess Maria is a genuinely kind and friendly, down to earth kiwi who cooks up a mean barbie. We didn't meet Chef Fen as he was working, but if he's anything like his side kick Syd Vicious ..short, grey, handsome, he's a real shmoozer, I mean schnauzer! The beds were comfy, everything's new, the space light and colourful and the cute breakfast basket included freshly baked muffins and home preserves. It's a social household and we were warmly welcomed, but no pressure, you could comfortably chill out in your own space. The beach is a pleasant stroll away, it felt like NZ 30 years ago (in a good way.)
