Carol is a delightful host, lovely to talk to and with an interesting back story. She loves her old house and is restoring it to its former glory. The important things for a comfortable stay are here eg a good new shower; induction hob; large comfortable king sized bed. Well equipped kitchen and lots of space. Location is handy for exploring the area. Dive Tatapouri and the stingrays is a must unique experience. The National Arboretum at Eastwoodhill is a great day out, and near the Rere falls and rockslide.
