Hugh and Shelley’s place is an absolute gem, and our hosts could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The bedroom and ensuite are roomy and comfortable, with large windows looking out over beautifully groomed grounds and gorgeous rural countryside. We were treated to a delicious dinner (as well as breakfast the next day) and very much appreciated Hugh’s offer to watch the rugby with him in their cozy lounge. A perfect place to break up our long drive south from Auckland to the southern Wairarapa.
