Kirsten and Mike were very welcoming and friendly. The experience of staying in our first Ark was fantastic. The bed frame is a couple of crate pallets and the mattress is a thick foam. Sleeping in the Ark was so peaceful and private from the main house and the property has a magnificent garden that could been shown in garden magazines! The shower and kitchen area was very clean and very spacious. Even though the property is isolated with the closest shops being a ten minute drive, you are surrounded by beautiful views and kiwi fruit plantations. If you are reliant on the internet you may find it intermittent and may have to go to the local library at Katikati. Meg the dog loves you throwing the ball so that she can chase it. We would consider staying again if we come back to this area. Highly recommend this Airbnb.
