We had a wonderful time at this warm and inviting home. Couldn't get over how beautiful the rural vistas were, in all directions; what a treat to look out on that from a hot spa pool! This was the perfect base for us to explore the region from, especially with that hot tub to return home to.
The lovely home has been thoughtfully updated, with well insulated bedrooms, comfortable, practical furnishings and everything we needed for a short stay. It was such a nice place to be that we chose to spend a bit of time relaxing there, skipping some of our planned sightseeing.
We briefly met our host Michael on the first day, he was friendly and welcoming and it was no trouble for us to get in touch when we had questions.
There are a lot of dirt/gravel roads in the area, including the driveway to this property. Our vehicle got a bit dusty with all the exploring, but that didn't worry us. It was worth it!
We enjoyed home cooking when not out sightseeing, but can recommend the fish & chips at the takeaway in nearby Owaka - they did the best crumbed fish fillet I've had in a long time.
