We are so grateful to Al for a fantastic stay. A group of us have been travelling around the South Island, tenting as we go. When we got to the west coast and observed that all it does is rain here, we were delighted to find this Airbnb that was bookable for that same night. We stayed two nights, particularly appreciating the fireplace which helped to dry all our washing, the fresh milk, gorgeous multicoloured eggs from Al’s chickens, and the very thoughtful range of various amenities. At one point we reached the data cap on the wifi - we messaged Al, not worried but just wanting to let him know for future guests, but within minutes he turned up with a whole new router for us. All in all, this was an incredibly homely experience for us, and it was bittersweet moving on up the coast knowing our next nights would be in a tent!
