We had a very enjoyable stay at this property. It's a little cabin out on the top of the hill and has some really great views. The cabin is furnished in what I would describe as a somewhat eclectic cottage chic type style, but it was comfortable and spacious enough for two people to move around comfortably. the loft area would be great for younger children, or teens, but it might be a little squished for particularly tall people or adults. There's a table and chairs inside for a breakfast area and also an outdoor deck. The kitchen is outside and has a gas burning stove - it actually requires you light it which was a little unusual for us but there were clear instructions on how to use it. Breakfast was included and it consisted of continental style breakfast with bread, jam, yogurt and fruit. Biddy was very accommodating and allowed us to come early to the property the morning of check in and drop off our bags so we didn't have to leave them in the car all day while we were out adventuring. She also found some pool towels for us to use in our caving adventure. This property is convenient to the caves in the area, and is about a 10 to 15 minute drive to most of the local caving operators and the downtown area. I would not recommend trying to use this property if you do not have a car, unless you are willing to try to bike on the very winding, hilly (and partially unsealed) roads leading to and from this property. Personally I think at night, given how dark it gets here, with no streetlights, I would not attempt biking. Otherwise I think this property is a great option for those looking for somewhere comfortable to stay while visiting the local caves.
The only minor thing I would say could be somewhat bothersome about this place is (as with many other places in New Zealand) there is no air conditioning so you have to leave the windows open. Leaving the windows open particularly at night encourages an influx of bugs that are drawn to the light, particularly large moths. This isn't that bothersome, and I don't think it's a reason not to choose this property, it's more of a heads up to shut the windows at night. Once we got the doors and windows all closed though and all the big bugs pushed back out we were okay for the night and nothing really bothered us. to be clear, I'm talking about flying insects like moths and flies, not bugs like roaches that would indicate any lack of cleanliness. I couldn't really say this is anything bad specifically about this property as it would happen anywhere you left windows open.
