We have stayed here a few times now, and as usual, Brian and Vals place is such a lovely place to stay. The home is cosy and inviting and has all the amenities you will need. The thing that stands out the most for us, is the grounds. They have such a beautiful garden, filled with trees and flowers. And the amount of bird life here is astounding. I spotted kōtare (kingfishers), Kererū, Tauhou (silver eye), blackbirds, korimako (bellbird), and kahu. Oh, and so many cute quails and rabbits running around. this place is the best spot to watch sunset and sunrise as well. The hosts are the most lovely people you could ever meet as well Five out of five stars and will visit again.
