Samantha's place is situated ideally on top of a hill that gives you beautiful panoramic views of the hillside, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Samantha and Darren were lovely in ensuring our stay was warm, comfortable and welcoming and we certainly felt every bit of it. They are such lovely people and great hosts! We encountered a little hiccup with the shower but Samantha and Darren were quick to have the issue resolved which didn't affect our stay at all. Their farm animals are delightful and extremely friendly, so their place is certainly a great place to unwind and relax. Perfect for the young. old or the inner child within. Probably the best placed we stayed at during our entire 10 day road trip around North Island.
