I was stunned in amusement when I first drove into their place. There is a pond in front of the house, and they planted grapes just by the pond. The place gives me a feeling of peacefulness and relaxation. Car park is right beside the cottage, which makes loading/unloading easy. Stone cottage, fruit trees, nut trees, deer, steers, grassfield and mountains, I was like living in the world of Harry Potter. There is a small distance of gravel road in order to access to the place which makes you feel like you are entering a paradise. The cottage is very spacious, warm, clean, tidy, has everything you need. Ika waited and greeted us personally at the car park and politely explained us the house must-know's, although it has put on writing on the table. They even showed us their farms, gave us some fruits and nuts. The price-tag might be slightly high for some, but it is a very unique and rare experience that you can find in New Zealand, and even with budget travel, there is always a window where you spend a little bit more and treat yourself better, and if that is happen to be the case, I highly recommend this place for you. You will not regret it.
