First and foremost, Paul and Marieann's place is an oasis, our impression of the perfect base camp from which to explore the NW part of New Zealand's South Island. Access to the AT trail, and the water taxis that serve this part of the coast, is only minutes away.
Their property is beautiful, the setting idyllic, the amenities they provide are stellar, and topping it off they're consummate hosts.
Ours won't be the only glowing review, but rather confirmation/affirmation of what others have said before us. Many thanks to them for sharing their home with travelers like my wife and me.
