Imagine a modern, perfectly kitted out cottage on a sheep 'station' overlooking a beautiful valley 7km from the closest town--and you have Denise's place at Awatere. The kitchen appliances are modern, the linens hotel quality, the bath is perfectly finished, and the furnishings are comfortable and very adequate for two couples.
Our hosts, Denise and James, were generous with their time, wise about things national and international, gracious in all ways, and yet gave us all of the privacy we chose.
I have stayed in a lot of AirBnB and VRBOs, and this one is the best so far.
