Wow! What an absolute treat! Marianne's place was amazing and just what we needed after a few long days of traveling. Marianne welcomed us and made us feel right at home with tea, coffee, snacks, and everything we needed to unwind. The geothermally heated hot tub was heavenly after our long hikes! And we really enjoyed lounging by the river with Marianne's sweet pups, Zac and Maddie. Highly recommend! We will definitely be staying at this cozy spot again when we venture back to New Zealand!
