Michelle greeted us as soon as we arrived (as did a Tui singing) and she showed us into the guest suite which was very comfortable for the 2 of us. She had thoughtfully put out a variety of breakfast options and fresh fruit along with some great snacks which was an unexpected treat. The bed was extremely comfortable (my husband appreciated the electric blanket and I appreciated the fact it had dual controls). Kitchen had gas burners which I loved, and the refrigerator/freezer combo was a decent size (no ice tray but I’m learning ice isn’t used much in NZ). The bath was a good size with nice towels and heated rack (had to locate the switch to the left of the vanity). We never sat outside as it was windy and cool, but the 2 chairs facing the mountain would have been a great place to relax. The location is on a gravel road (but not far off the main road) so it was a bit dusty driving in. We would never have known we were next door to the hosts except for hearing the water pump occasionally (and I didn’t hear it at all from the sleeping corner just mostly in the bath and kitchen). It was very quiet at night and if we hadn’t been there during the near full moon I’m sure the stars would have been amazing.
