Bev and Des are fantastic hosts. They were very flexible with our constantly changing checkin time and were there to greet us with open arms when we arrived at 11:00 PM.
Their place is very clean, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with fresh juices, fruits, some snacks, tea and coffee. The hand written note was a cherry on top.
Make sure you budget some time for a chat with them. They are a very interesting couple and we regret that we didn't have more time to talk to them. Our jam packed schedule had us there for only sleeping hours.
Would definitely revisit if we came back through this part of New Zealand.
