If you want peace and tranquility, this is the place for you. Another reviewer remarked on the noise from upstairs. I found it minimal, and only noticeable because of the incredibly quiet environment.
The NZ native trees and birds are a treat for any overseas visitor - or kiwi returning home for a stay. It feels like a home. Donna and John left us to ourselves, but were accessible if needed. The bread, fruit, yoghurt, muesli and juice provided were great.
Unreservedly recommended.
