Andrea and Chris were extremely welcoming when we arrived. They were away the weekend that we were there, but they met us and showed us around and made sure we had everything we needed. The beautiful fire was turned on for us for when we came home, which made us feel even more comfortable and at home. Breakfast was delicious with fresh eggs from the chooks a real treat! You definitely need a car to stay here, but the surroundings and view are beautiful and worth the trip. We stayed to visit family in Waikanae and this was a much better option than the hotels in town. Would definitely stay again!
