Maryke was an amazing host, friendly and very communicative. Even though my partner and I only stayed one night, Maryke was still extremely welcoming and provided us with some great suggestions of things to do and where to eat. She also provided some treats upon arrival and kindly introduced us to her two beautiful dogs (very friendly and cute), as well as showing us around her lovely home and our room.
The room was exactly as described: clean, very private, and had everything we needed; including a comfy bed, minifridge, TV, and wardrobe. The private ensuite bathroom was spacious and clean. We also had access to the conservatory area and the well-kept backyard, which also leads directly onto a pathway along the Tongariro River. A true bed and breakfast experience, Maryke provided quite a large and delicious breakfast for us in the morning, which was very much appreciated.
This stay is highly recommended, we wish we could've stayed longer!
