Five stars cannot accurately describe how wonderful the hosts are. My husband and I, were instantly welcomed by Joanna and Ian and felt at home. They were absolutely delightful to chat with and offered great advice on what to see and do in the local areas. I cannot think of a better first New Zealand experience! The breakfast was delicious and hearty and her homemade bread is wonderful. The room was light and airy with plenty of room. There was very comfort available such as tea, coffee, bathrobes, and a ridiculously comfortable bed.
