John and Julie, the hosts of Karangahake Te Punanga Bn'B are very warm and welcoming, genuinely friendly. They happily go the extra mile to ensure you will have a relaxing and interesting experience. Having travelled extensively themselves, they understand what folks on a journey are wanting. While the dining room is a shared space, this home includes a private guest wing , located upstairs via a wooden spiral staircase, with guests lounge and bathroom, and having two bedrooms offering options to suit most travellers. The amazing local scenery is complemented by the original artworks waiting to be discovered and enjoyed both in their home and around the gardens.A memorable stay, well above average.
