We had a great stay at Carols place. Its setting in the bush overlooking the gorgeous bay was spectacular. Her home felt like a true family home, filled with so many interesting books, special treasures , and a kitchen filled with almost anything you would need to cook a wide variety of food. We loved the back garden and deck out front overlooking the bay. The location was perfect too, an easy walk into town and all the many nice things to do there. We would highly recommend Carols place for anyone wanting to stay in this very special part of NZ.
