Stacey was a wonderful host, friendly and helpful. She has been to a lot of trouble making the house beautiful and welcoming for guests, with so many thoughtful touches and unexpected supplies. As a result it is a lovely place to unwind and relax. We used it as a base to explore Southland and the Catlins but also just a place to chill out. I am very picky (sorry😂) and felt completely comfortable - the house was spotlessly clean and gorgeous. Wish we had found the time to use the fire pit and BBQ. Thank you so much for allowing our dog to stay too-lovely fenced and well-kept garden. Would happily recommend and stay again.
