Lovely crafted home. The 2nd house is next door to the driveway and close by but you are still private enough. The veggie patch is a bit unkempt but had herbs available and there is a lime tree right outside the lounge. The river is an easy walk and the swing bridge was fun. We didn’t get to check out the sandy river beach spot. Bring salt, fly spray, DVDs for the colder days/evenings. Good quality soaps. Occasionally you’ll hear road noise (motorcycles etc) but the deer sounds were great and you can see them far off from on top the small hill in front of the house. Hubby had a good soak in the tub and made full use of the bbq. A good place to get away for a while yet close enough to explore Tasman region.
