This is a great place to stay. The host is very welcoming and the setting on a ridge overlooking the Awatere Valley is fabulous. You're in the house with the family but privacy is not a problem as you're in a separate wing almost, with your own bathroom just next to the bedroom. There are cats and dogs which might possibly be an issue if you're sensitive to such things. Finding the house at night should be OK as long as you have the instructions from the host in front of you as you drive up. We would definitely recommend this AirBnB to others.
