We spent two nights at Emma's place and it was delightful. The horses and dogs were the highlights for us, including the views of the snowcapped Mt Ruapehu we could see from the backyard.
The house was well stocked with basic necessities of bread, butter, milk, coffee and tea. Linens were clean. We only thought the water was a little hard to wash off, but for two days it wasn't much of a problem. Would definitely recommend and even go back.
Emma was a great host and made sure we were comfortable!
