What a lovely place to stay very clean and Valerie goes that bit further with biscuits and shampoo conditioner and shower gel. You don't need to take anything but yourselves and a change of clothes .the bed is very comfy the chairs are very comfy. There is a microwave and some kitchen ware if you want a ping meal instead of going out .i think they have both thought of everything .breakfast on the balcony was excellent. My husband also enjoyed the home brew beer. They were both very helpful if you needed ant advice on where to go and what to do. We both wish them the very best and if ever we were to visit NZ again we would certainly call on them.
