Ian is such a lovely host! This space is so relaxing. We spent a week here. Although the guest kitchen is kitchenette, it has everything you need (and Ian will provide any extra pans, if needed) to whip up meals and prepare everything you find locally. The bedrooms are large….3 in total: one with 2 twins and a double with an en suite, one with a double and two twins that shares the bathroom with the upstairs double bedroom. The living room is soooo large, lots of tables, couches, chairs and space with a large tv to enjoy. The outside is expansive: two large patios, a yard and tons of gardens to enjoy. We loved to have interactions and conversations with Ian, but you have plenty of privacy, if needed. We explored the whole area and this was a great middle home base. We caught red snapper, went up to Cape Reinga and all the Bays and peninsulas. The local people are lovely. The area is farmland, but close to whatever you need. Our family of 6 LOVED this space and would recommend it!
