This is a hidden gem indeed and I'm happy I found it! Sam and his family are very welcoming and will make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. The studio is very quiet and you'll have a lovely sunny deck overlooking the trees. You'll wake up to the calls of the Tui and other NZ birds while enjoying your coffee. I truly enjoyed the location as well. Totara Park and the Botanical Gardens are within walking distance. Don't forget to walk the Puhinui Forest Stream trail which is a superb walk as well. Would definitely recommend staying here.
