Neil was a great host, he runs a professional and slick B&B operation. We enjoyed our stay, especially the hot full "kiwi" (English) breakfast in the morning, so delicious and set us up for the day ahead. Neil was lovely to chat to and has a friendly cat, we would've loved to have chatted longer if we'd had more time! It's a great "rest" stop on the way down to Wellington. Would definitely recommend.
