A clean, comfortable spacious place with cool cotton linens, a rural outlook (replete with cows) and an easy five minute drive from the airport. Jan and her husband a great hosts, and this was perfect for a one night stopover en route to Kaikaura. Breakfast was splendid, and I'll copy Jan's recommendation for our onward journey - if you're heading north do drop in at Twin Rivers in Cheviot. The food is fab and it's got a cool arty vibe.
