Pros: lovely rural spot and river view; wonderful spa pool on the deck overlooking the river; great continental breakfasts; very comfortable huge king+ bed; nice bathroom and shower; host is helpful and informative; Nelson Lakes area offers many good hikes and spectacular scenery.
Cons: limited and slow wifi internet (satellite only); no cellphone coverage on our phones and therefore no mobile data that way either; not much spare room in the bedroom in which the big comfortable bed takes up most of the space; house is of course shared with host, with some restrictions.
