We loved how everything in Patrick's place feels "as it should be." If you're OCD and need a minimal space, this might not be the place for you, but we found so much to like about this place. The most comfy bed in our entire New Zealand stay, a nice big kitchen that you can use to cook in if needed, awesome cats, secluded area, etc. Patrick is a wealth of info for things to try and do and has tons of supplemental materials about the area if you're wanting to do additional studying up. Thank you again for the hospitality!
