The hosts are attentive and empathetic, anticipating your needs. They are forthcoming with information and suggestions to maximize your traveling experience. I got to learn about and taste the Anzac cookie, a New Zealander treat, which they provide in a jar in your room, a long with a chocolate candy treat. I also had some homemade bread, the recipe of which Cathy gladly shared with me. I got to enjoy the deck attached to the bedroom and facing the garden with a visiting friend. I also enjoyed a 20-minute walk to the beach.
