Serene, sophisticated and simple! The setting is amazing with views of Auckland City combined with the quiet of a rural setting. Coffee outside on the patio makes you re-asses priorities as nature and peace surround you and good french press NZ coffee gets you going. The room was immaculate and well appointed with everything needed for a peaceful stay. Hosts provided juice, bread, jams, cereal, tea and coffee which was unexpected but appreciated! The water was hot, the bathroom clean, large and easy to use. Plenty of outlets to charge your electronics and a good wifi to stay connected if that's needed. Hosts are invisible but readily available if needed. Great stay!
