We had a great time in Julie and Menno’s place. The cottage was cozy, clean and has everything we needed. The location is beautiful, and close to town but you will need a car to get around ( similar to most NZ areas I think) or get familiarize with the bus routes.
The best part of our stay is being hosted by 5-stars hosts. Julie and Menno are not only gracious but also empathetic and super helpful. They made getting started in a new place easier. Best regards to both!
