Staying at Ken's place was a vacation in itself! The house is so warm, cozy and comfortably outfitted you immediately feel at home. The gardens are beautiful and so lovely to admire from the many quite sitting spaces. Everything you need for cooking is available and they generously allowed shared use of pantry items. We have stayed in more than 20 bachs throughout NZ and this was by far the nicest and best value. There is a great walking/biking track an easy walk down the hill and conveniently located shopping centre less than a two minute drive away. Thanks Ken for sharing your lovely home.
