Des & Bev are fantastic hosts! The space is very well outfitted and can be as private as you like. We didn't hear any upstairs noise during our stay. Des & Bev are so friendly and have such great local recommendations; we wound up watching an All Blacks game at a local bar & restaurant they recommended and had a fantastic time! A great place to settle in if you are coming from/going to the Waitomo Glowworm caves (~35 min drive).
