Highly recommendable place to stay!
My husband and I stayed for 10 days and could not have been happier with our choice. The house was Sparkling clean on arrival and there were fresh flowers on the table and in the bedrooms. As we arrived very late our hosts even supplied food for next days breakfast (fresh bread, butter, honey, eggs, milk, Müsli) so we could sleep in and enjoy a brilliant breakfast.
Everything in the house and the garden is made or chosen with love, taste and thoughtfulness. From kitchen supplies (sharp knives it is fun cooking with are a rare finding in holiday houses I experienced), bedding (quality linen and duvets),products (organic soaps, toothpaste and dish washer) to plenty of places to sit outside to enjoy a book or the view.
The gardens surrounding the house are even better as the hosts grow their own veggies, fruits and nuts and we have been welcomed to serve ourselves with fresh herbes, fruit and greens. On our first day we got a basket full of fresh peas to cook for our dinner. A great place with kids (they‘ll love to feed the ponys or see some curious chicken in the garden) or for city people like us.
The location turned out to be super convenient to explore the whole region as you only have a short drive everywhere. Several beaches and towns, wineries, golf courses, the great taste cycle trail, hiking options and even the Abel Tasman Nationalpark (35 mins drive to Kaiteriteri where the water taxis depart). We enjoyed coming back to our luxurious, spacious and calm retreat after exciting day trips. There is a really nice cafe and the oldest pub in the area in walking distance (10-15 mins) if you don’t want to drive.
To sum it up: Great value for money, best accommodation, highly recommended!
