Barb made us feel very welcome, but also didn't intrude on our space. The unit is cosy and has everything you need. It's a bit like coming home every day instead of going to a hotel. Barb even invited us out to Lake Tarawera when they were taking the boat out and, had my mum been able to manage it, we would have taken her up on the offer! There's a little river view from the bedroom window which was lovely. The beds are extremely comfortable and warm! Good shower and you can even do some washing in the washing machine which we took advantage of. We stayed a week and we think the price was awesome for what you get! Would definitely recommend, and would definitely stay again.
