Tucked away in Whitby with sweeping views across the sloping native bush valley, it is a lovely setting. The spacious and very comfortable modern bedroom and bathroom beneath the main house affords privacy, light and lingering sunshine whilst relaxing on the deck. The fresh yogurt and tasty home made muesli provided was an excellent way to start the day. The location was ideal for my visiting family close by with the option of many walk ways and rollling hills giving one a good workout. With the suburban public transport infrequent and not direct, a car certainly gives one more freedom and flexibility. Easy access to the Link Road connects one quickly North or South on the very convenient Transmission Gully Highway. If wishing to be part of the beautiful New Zealand landscape, listening to the native Tui's song echo across the valley, look no further. A hidden treasure worth discovering. Nicky and Gary are wonderful hosts, making the stay delightful and effortless.
