Helen's home is beautiful and warm on a cold winter's night, but would be wonderful in warmer times too, with plenty of outside space for dining and watching the sunset reflecting off the Hunua ranges. Helen was a friendly host and always ensured I was comfortable and well fed. Helen's dogs were friendly and appreciated some pats. This would be a great place to stay for riders doing the Tour Aotearoa, being just off the Hunua inland route. up a long driveway my bike felt secure in the garage and Helen allowed me to give it a quick wash with the garden hose, which was much appreciated. Would love to stay again!
