Shanti's place was exactly as described & if you're looking for something that's a little different from the 4 beige walls & 'sterile' kitchenette then we'd recommend checking it out.
It was quiet, not too far out of our way & the whole Golden Bay area is close by for exploring.
The outdoor kitchen & composting loo are a little more unusual - and what we were most impressed with was the outside shower - brilliant!
Definitely value for money. Thanks Shanti
