Loved my stay at The Old Dag. Peaceful, beautiful countryside with Hawks flying overhead and Tui calling in the eucalyptus trees. Jessie was a great host, welcoming, friendly and helpful. The Old Dag has been lovingly restored by Jessie and is a perfect place to get away from it all. It has everything you need in terms of amenities, with little extras that made it exceptional- herbs and spices, hot chocolate, chocolate fish and of course the microwave popcorn- thank you Jessie. It was a pleasure to meet Jessie, her cats, kittens and friends, and I would love to come back. The Old Dag is a hidden gem.
