Such a great place for a quick getaway. Just throw some clothes and snacks in the car and find some peace n quiet. And some cows. And some tea and gorgeous pastures to relax by.
20m to Te Hana Maori Community Centre. Great close knit group of people - Fri night market/Hangi and local music too. Linda can tell you about it if you like.
I went Kiwi searching out east (45m away) with a tour and came back to *such* a comfortable bed.
Great host, welcoming yet unobtrusive. Comfortable and relaxing. Full tray of eggs, bread, assorted milks in the fridge; cookies, jam and tin fruit in the pantry. Coffee, tea sugar as expected.
Will definitely come back.
