Jim and Bridgettes place is perfectly situated close to the Ruahine ranges, an ideal spot for the avid hiker. We stayed here before and after doing the knights-shorts loop. The place itself is incredibly homely and the fire kept us all snug. You wake up to cows and sheep looking at you from the paddock outside the deck, as you make a hot cup of coffee. The place has so many thoughtful touches and we would love to stay again.
