Carol's place is wonderful. The location is PERFECT for an overnight stay for our drive from Napier to Wellington. We drove right up to our room which came with an ensuite bathroom - very private and spotlessly clean. Water, milk, tea, coffee available in the room. The most valuable experience was being on a minifarm for us - Carol was very kind to spend time introducing us to the place and letting us play / do tricks with her miniature horses and sheep. Finally, Palmerston north is a short 15 min drive away the next day for some very good brunch and shopping.
