Had a nice welcome from Bruce when we swung by his house to check where we were going. Very easygoing, informative and chatty. The house was as advertised and in a wonderful location with friendly calves in the field next door. No neighbors and really peaceful and quiet (apart from the kiwis calling in the bush at night!). Our beds were very comfortable with plenty of good pillows and the house was lovely and warm with the wood stove. There were eggs and fresh milk from their cows in the fridge and Buce gave us so more when he did the milking (warm from the cows and so buttery yellow, fabulous!). Maxine came round later with some fresh whitebait which we had with our breakfast the next morning and it was lovely to meet her. The nearby coast and beaches were fascinating and great for exploring. We wish we could have stayed longer and have already sent the link to this listing to other friends. A wonderful spot, you won't be disappointed. Definitely want to come back!
