If you love the feeling of freedom, a view which feeds your eyes better than a lamb roast and hospitality that makes you feel like you are already a local, then Gill's hillside hangout is special. You can see the sun rise over Hawke Bay cosily from bed, with the doors wide open to let in the cool morning air. The donkeys are friends for life if you have any carrots and nature plays out in the paddock with rabbits, pheasants and quails all showing off. The thoughtfulness of breakfast items means supplied by Gill means you can take your time to gather stores for the BBQ (ably supported by microwave, bench oven and cooktop). Gill's place was easily found with her excellent directions (better than Google Maps) and the wine welcome was much appreciated. If you need anything, Gill will get it for you (including emergency doctor visits and carrot supplies). So we would recommend this as a place to sit back, relax and just revel in nature.
