His cottage is an absolute gem. Well appointed yet cozy, I was instantly relaxed by the setting...rolling hills, sheep, cattle, dogs and cats. A perfect spot to rest between Taupo/Rotorua and Wellington but I also think this would make for a restful weekend getaway for a couple or small group of friends. There is a surprisingly good steakhouse 20 minutes away for dinner and the unit was supplied with farm-fresh eggs and milk. My only regret is that I only spent a night here.
