Marie’s place exceeded our expectations! First of all her property is absolutely stunning, you feel like you’re in the country but you’re also only a short drive from several towns. The room itself is perfect for two people, my dad and I are traveling together and it was exactly what we needed. The beds were comfortable and we slept extremely well. Marie is such a gracious host, and we really enjoyed getting to know her during our short stay. Also breakfast was delicious with fresh eggs and goat cheese. This was a perfect welcome into New Zealand!
