We loved this place!
I stayed 3 nights and my daughter and her partner joined me on the first. Homemade bread, fire laid, fresh fruit on the table and the host, Mark, on hand to run through the few quirks of how to get best performance from fire and show me everything I needed to know about the place were all lovely extra touches that made me feel welcomed.
The walk to the toilet is nothing to worry about and for the midnight excursion a torch and gumboots (welly's) are supplied. The only visitors are native fantails which flit in and out the window at dusk after small insects and a morepork (small native owl) who must have a perch nearby.
Waking to birdsong, chickens, and a bonus donkey singing their way into the morning is a pretty good way to start the day, and adding in the outside (hot!) shower makes it perfect.
Fully recommend this place to those who want a real Kiwi experience - which is getting rarer and harder to find.
