Such a beautiful place to escape , it exceeded all our expectations. The place was clean and very comfortable. Our favourite part about this place was the lovely hosts , they provided us with so much information on how we should spend our time on the southern island, we found out that we didn’t even have to leave hari hari to make the most of our stay as there was so much to do in such a small town. NZ’s best kept secret! We never had a problem with the fireplace and hot water (it heated up quicker than expected), their lovely dog Mellow is so friendly and we even left with some delicious home made cucumber relish made from fresh cucumbers from the greenhouse 😛if you stay here we highly recommend Dans tour of his workplace/paradise, we learnt a lot about how they put the place together and about NZ culture (burt Monroe)! Kath and Dans do it yourself attitude is incredibly admirable and what they have done to the place from scratch is nothing short of spectacular, our only regret is not staying for longer :)
