We had an amazing time at Hutiwai. Maxine and her family were lovely, answering all of our questions about cows, the areas history and made us feel more than welcome. My wife and I have stayed at probably a dozen AirBNB's along the way and we both agreed that this was our favorite. Access to Tongaporutu beach was easy and definitely worth the visit. Amazing to have a few days without cell phones, internet or other distractions and just relax, unwind and be happy.
