You will not get a better host than Sue. Warm, careing, helpful person. She is a great person to talk to, but if you need she give you a lot of space and privacy. We spent very nice evening with her. She prepared a breakfast for us ( including famous delicious home made muffins). She gave us some advises we needed about Abel Tasman Track and Milford Sound. There are wonderfull, very friendly dog and cats as well. We recommend this host!
