Takoha and Simon’s House was such a nice surprise for us! Having just driven from Queenstown, we found the the house to be peaceful, quiet, and full of sunlight. It’s right outside of the main downtown area in easy walking distance but feels like a true country home with a small vegetable garden and chickens in the backyard. The Tui room was very comfortable, and the house is well appointed, boasting a full kitchen, back porch, and importantly for us, laundry and dryer! I would have gladly stayed a second night, and would definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area.
