We found Mary's place very comfortable and loved our stay. Andrea met us at the ferry and was cheerful and helpful. The complimentary car use was very handy and much appreciated. The house is in a out of the way location so very private and great for bird spotting. Actually the Kaka were regular visitors to the railing which was a real treat. We didn't manage to see kiwis but the view from the sunroom was spectacular. A great place to relax and keep warm. The beds are comfortable as is the spacious lounge. We would definitely recommend this place, we had a great time.
