Our stay at Barry and Liz’s was very comfortable. The doors opened to let in lovely breezes and we were lucky enough to meet some of their cows and even some puppies. The kitchen amenities are plentiful with a huge oven and gas cooktop, full fridge and all the kitchen utensils you could hope for. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom afforded lots of space and a nice shower. It might be worth noting for those who, after travelling or being out during the day, like to watch television etc, that there are only 2 free to air channels available and there is a DVD selection, however this is purely for children so it might be worth bringing some DVDS for adults or plan for evening activities. There is also no WIFI or satellite television, which is acknowledged in the Ad. Only being 1hr 25mins to Hotwater beach or Cathedral Cove and 50mins to Auckland, it is conveniently located.
