Brenda was a fantastic host, making us feel very welcome and giving us plenty of ideas and advice on local attractions and eateries. Brenda's home is lovely, warm and very well styled. We felt very comfortable relaxing there when we weren't off exploring the Hawke's Bay. The location was good - it was about 15 minutes from everywhere! Brenda prepared us a delicious breakfast each day and we were accompanied by her two lovely dogs. We would definitely stay again!
