It was more than what we had expected driving into Christine's valley view B&B with an amazing view. The private entrance made getting in and out a breeze and with a short 4 minute drive to town, made catching a delicious dinner at Monarch Cafe (Christine's recommendation) a simple drive. Graham gave us a great tour of the property and introduction to the animals. The property was well maintained and meeting the 2 curious and well behaved alpacas was the highlight of our stay. The residence and the animal grounds were well separated so if the animals aren't your thing they won't be an issue. The rooms were clean, well kept and both rooms had a lovely valley view. The shower had good heat and water pressure something that I really value. Breakfast included toast, an assortment of cereal and fruit. Will definitely stay again if we are in the Pukekohe/Auckland area.
