This place is better than expected. The host was very accommodating, generous and helpful. We were treated to a few little extras like a bar of NZ Whittakers chocolate, and a kiwi favourite, some lolly cake. The place looks over the Tasman sea which you could hear and see, perfect place to watch the wild west coast weather come in. The place is homely and well maitained and very comfortable and cozy. I came from the tropics so was worried about being cold, but there are free standing heaters, a heat pump and a wood burner so I never felt cold at all.
I cannot recommend this place enough and highly rate the host Tess, who was awesome!
