We feel so lucky that we stayed at Clare’s place in the beginning of our NZ trip. A wonderful start of our vacation here! To start off, the property looks exactly like the photos, even a bit better I would say. The bedding and linens are of high quality so we slept very well. The house is on a big land and Clare has a really well kept garden. She provided breakfast free of charge for us and even gave us homemade homegrown nut butter and jam. She also provided us tips for nice hikes in the surrounding. Some previous review mentioned the Kitchenette are is missing a sink but it was not a problem for us at all. First of all you’re not supposed to do heavy cooking and Clare offered to clean our (breakfast) dishes for us. The entrance is separate so there’s a lot of privacy. We extended our stay there because it’s so relaxing.
Overall, a super nice family place where you can experience the calm and peaceful local environment.
