We don't usually stay in private room accommodation, preferring to be in self-contained places, so we went out on a limb with this one. Thankfully, David was thoroughly accommodating and everything that the 2+-year-old reviews said he would be: kind, helpful, knowledgeable, trusting, and hard-working. David has not had many guests since the covid period, but for the right person, this would be an excellent stay. His is a 'farm-stay' of sorts, so this is not entirely private accommodation, and you should not expect 5-star hotel service. This is a remote area, so cell service sometimes means David will take a bit of time to get back to you - be patient! His in-home wifi was terrific once we got there. David is a thoroughly genuine Kiwi. Upon arrival, he got out a looked-like-new wee fridge for us to store our groceries in separately, and was careful about his pets (since I'm not a dog person). The place was warm and clean, and the bed & linens were super comfortable, like unreal, I slept until past 8 am! The property is very close to things you want to do and see: Cathedral Caves; forest walks; beach walks; Florence Hill Lookout; McLean Falls walk (the absolute best!); Matai Falls walk; and further afield in either direction to Curio Bay or Surat Bay. Go walk yourself silly all day - and then come rest at this great overnighter. Thank you, David, for opening up your home again to visitors and we wish you the best in the future.
