We had a wonderful two nights staying with Brian and Carol. We were royally welcomed, and discovered Carol had come from our hometown of Melbourne. Knowing that the main purpose of our visit was to visit some of the amazing Taranaki gardens they had thoughtfully placed a garden magazine in the room. The room had a comfortable bed and clean en suite and its own access to the side of the home where the car was safely parked. The breakfast invigorated us for our 30000+ steps visiting 7 gardens in the one day! Highly recommended and good value.
