It was an absolute joy to stay at Andries and Dina’s accommodation. They were immediately welcoming, and after three days made me feel like family. From fresh-made muffins, to rides into town, to a custom tour of a glow worm cave—it says everything about the personal attention they pay to guests. The room was ideal as well. It includes a nice size bed and full closet – just like a normal bedroom at home—with quality bedclothes and extra blankets. There is a separate entrance onto a newly-built wooden patio if you want privacy. Just through the bedroom door around the corner in the hallway is the separate, but convenient, private bathroom--brand new, good sized, and sparkling clean. You are also welcome in the beautiful kitchen where Dina has set up a personal “butler pantry” containing all of the guest breakfast items including dishes, electric kettle, and everything else you and the other guests need. You are advised to hang out on the main patio, as well; it has a spectacular view. I was super pleased to have strong, continuous WIFI—a lifesaver as I’m on a work holiday. A car is advised – Andries drove me down the hill to pick up a low-priced rental so that I could easily get to Tutukaka for my boat trip—the car for a whole day cost the same as a two-way shuttle from the boat company. Excellent experience.
