Great place to Stay, Mark and Sarah were awesome, very personable and positive. Mark was happy to have a chat and give us recommendations on what to do. He recommended the 'best' part of the cycling trail and lent us his bikes, dropped us off and picked us up and took us for a beer afterwards. Paid $25NZ for dinner and breakfast combo, Sarah is a great chef, close to the best food we had in NZ(we did go to a few expensive restaurants that may have edged her out). Their 2 dogs were entertaining as well. Close enough to Alexandra to go explore it, and remote enough to get spectacular views every morning.
