5 Stars for Lyn & Joe. Super clean and spacious quarters with definite sense of nostalgia of ‘how NZ used to be’. True Kiwi character & Kiwi hospitality to match. The hosts are generous and creative people who make the most of every day in every possible way. Best kept secret location, tranquility away from bustle and car noise. Stepping out the garden gate follows beautiful walk overlooking waterways, through a park full of giant historic trees to the foreshore & safe swimming beach & further walks. Regular bus service around the corner. All ingredients are here for an enchanted holiday, even if you don't want to use a car.
