What a truly lovely place to stay! The rural setting was so peaceful but there was lots to do close by. Miles kindly took me in his car to show me the local swimming spots and I had the most amazing swim with Mt Taranaki as a back drop. I visited Nicci in her bright pink ambulance chocolate shop at the little Wednesday afternoon market, walking back over the swing bridge and along their farm track. In the evening, I discovered a beautiful surf beach that was unmarked from the road. And yes, the bed and shower were great!
