We received a warm and friendly welcome from Sandra and her friendly dog. Stayed overnight as a halfway stop between Wellington and Auckland. Great communication throughout. The space is relaxing and quiet, right next to the garden, and it had everything we needed. Off-street parking just outside the garage next to the room. It was wonderful of Sandra to offer flexible check-out time, she told us to take our time in the morning and not rush, and we really appreciated that. Thank you, Sandra.
