This was a stop for 2 weary travelers who drove through torrential rain and it was a wonderful surprise! First the beauty of the surrounding area and the ease of finding the house and getting in to the house, and second the peacefulness. And I mustn't forget the wonderful hospitality, there were homemade oatmeal biscuits and many selections for hot drinks. There were many items to choose from for breakfast too.
All in all, a wonderful stop for anyone travelling through the middle of the North Island!
