Eric’s place has a quiet, happy energy. All guests shared the kitchen and common areas which were always filled with friendly conversation and travel tips. Our room was very clean and the views from the property were lovely. Eric prepared a cheese plate for our day of wine tasting. He is a cheese expert and sells at the local farmers markets. He gave us good tips for places to visit as well. I recommend Eric’s place and will return here if I ever have the chance to be in NZ again!
