The Pine House and its tranquil surroundings were a perfect setting for a relaxing retreat. Mark was welcoming and helpful with any requests we had tips for exploring the sights. We enjoyed the large kitchen and gas cooker, great for those who prefer to self-cater. Inside was clean and bed comfy. The fire made it cosy as well. Outside we had kereru, tuis and fantail come to visit - symbolic of the beauty that this part of the world offers. Thanks Mark - we really enjoyed our stay. :)
