My family of 4 stayed at Graham & Sarndra’s place and had a wonderful experience! We had a warm welcome from Graham when we arrived. He let us drop our bags off early and helped us plan a quick last-minute Maori experience. The house is well appointed and instructions for everything are clear as well as brochures for all the attractions. The house is nestled in the mountains on a beautiful property with sweeping views and wind blowing through the trees. The master room looks out onto the mountains and is so peaceful. I wanted to stay in the room and just take in the view. The place was immaculate and warm (the pictures do not do enough justice to the house). Graham and Sarndra thought of every detail to make their guests feel very welcome and comfortable. Beds and pillows were amazing. They have really gone all out to make the place special. Note there is only one small bathroom downstairs. It was not a problem for us but something to consider if you need more space. I only wish we had more time to spend there to take in the property, views, animals, town and to get to know the hosts. We only met Graham but suggested that he offer drinks and conversation with the host as a bonus! We all highly recommend.
