Jane's sleep-out was amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and don't have anything negative to say. The converted garage (doesn't feel like a garage at all) that is your "room" has access to the lovely garden sitting area where we ate breakfast. You're right beside the house for your washroom and kitchen, but you have the privacy of the detached room. Jane was a doll, super helpful and even leant us a beach umbrella for the shadeless Ocean Beach south of Napier. Wifi in the room is not strong and no downloading, so this would not be for someone on a working vacation, but it suited us very well! Bonus, Jane's cat Biscuits is adorable :)
