Marcel is an amazing person. He was always there for us, he keeps the facilities extremely clean (high European standard) and has an amazing house. Eating or enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace was lovely, the proximity to the sea and the Queen Charlotte track amazing. We went sailing with him, which was absolutely great! Haven't slept that well anywhere else on our entire NZ trip - the birds, the comfortable bed, no cars - a little peace of heaven on earth.
