I had a wonderful stay at Helen's place. I spent the first part of my week trying to get some writing done, and it was the perfect quiet place to do so - the only distraction was the magnificent view!
When my partner came along for the weekend, we had a great time walking the local tracks and to the top of the nearby hill. There's a little shop in Huia about 5-10 minutes drive down the road - good cabinet food and meals available there.
It's awesome that there's Sky TV and WiFi available in such a remote location. The place was clean and the bed more comfortable than I had at home! Everything you could need is available at this place. We also really enjoyed meeting Helen's dog, and seeing the nearby cows. There were lots of parrots and the occasional pheasant flying by - very cool.
Highly recommend this place!
