I messaged to let our hosts know we were about half and hour away, it was a dark rainy night. We pulled up to the address, Ron was waiting at the roadside with a torch to guide us in with a smile on his face. He helped us into their beautiful home. There was home baking, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, Beer and a large wine selection on offer for us, plus Janice made us delicious piklets for breakfast. Ron and Janice are so lovely, you'll have the whole downstairs area to yourself in the evening, or share it with Ron and Janice to share stories if you please. The room is right next to your own private bathroom with a bath, toilet and shower. Or enjoy a hot bath on the private deck with beautiful views outside your room. There are chickens and ducks wondering the property, we were able to feed and pick up the Chickens for scratch. Ron and Janice have such a beautiful home surrounded by their very well kept and loved gardens. There is an always lit fire place, Tv and comfy couches in the lounge for some private time, before climbing into the cozy queen bed with the electric blankets and heater for extra warmth in winter. My partner and I stayed a night on our Northland road trip. It was by far our favourite stay, very affordable, and truely a highlight of our trip. We will definitely be back next time we are up these ways!
