We really enjoyed our stay at Bryce's place. The place was extremely clean and everything was exactly as shown in the photos. The bed was comfy and the room was quickly heated up with a ducted heater as we were travelling in winter. The heated floor and towel rack in the bathroom were really nice, too.
Bryce was really friendly and responsive to our enquires and was happy to give us tips about the surroundings. He kindly gave us a tour of his orchard and the provision of the avocados and fruits from there was a nice surprise! :) He also kindly lent us the shovels for Hot Water beach!
It was a very peaceful and quiet stay with birds singing and we saw so many stars at night. We, unfortunately, didn't have a chance to use the pool but it gives an infinity pool feeling with a pastoral view. The place is conveniently located about 10 mins drive to Cathedral Cove and Hot Water beach respectively. One piece of advice is that the closest supermarkets are in Whitianga (30 min drive or ferry to cross) so I recommend stocking up before arriving.
I highly recommend Bryce's place.
