We enjoyed our weekend 'retreat' in the countryside, it really is very pleasant. It is nice to have the patio, the two interconnected large rooms, plus a walk in wardrobe storage space, and the bathroom of course. The 'kitchenette' is fine for accommodating the preparation of light meals such as breakfast. Kaiapoi is nearby, and provides a range of choices for dining out. Thank you for being attentive hosts, it was a pleasure to stay over several days.
