    I felt comfortable that while I was away during the day, my room and space were respected.

    Things are great the way they are. For me, there was nothing there that I didn't like. Thank you again to Cindy and her husband.

    I mentioned previously that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this location. I will be back in the near future. Cindy and her husband are great hosts.

    This is my second stay at this property. I was very satisfied with the room and the amenities that encompassed the relaxation I looked forward to embracing after a full-on day away from home.

    I stumbled on the back steps up to the rear deck at night, so perhaps just a small modification to the existing auto-lighting system is required.

    Cleanliness, views and accessibility were superb. Shared facilities were neat, tidy and easy to navigate

    I loved the peacefulness and that I saw native birds utilizing the native trees outside my bedroom.

    I did not like that the main door was locked and I could not get in. It was dark, I didn't have my phone on me to call the owner, but went downstairs and bothered another resident. He rang the owner for me. I spoke with Cindy who is very helpful but did not know how to unlock the lock box. The other resident helped me again. Because I couldn't get in through the front door I did manage to get in through the bedroom door. However, that is only minor compared to the whole weekend of my stay. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Cindy and husband. Fi

    When I arrived at the property, I was greatly impressed with the interior layout. It was comfy and homely.

    Everything was perfect!

    The room is comfortable and kept it warm (we stayed in May). Cindy and Schalk are amazing! For us who are super shy, they explained us everything and made us feel welcome. The toilet is not in the room, but is just for you so it was perfect. You can use the kitchen if you like and there is a lot of space for parking. Last but not least, the view from the room is amazing!

    Room was pretty compact sized, didn't have sufficient space to fit two medium luggages, 1 small hand carry luggage and 1 backpack. We had to use most of the floor space and wardrobe space. Given the limited room space, we had to maximize every available space. Hence, we didn't have a space within the room to use our laptops for work purposes comfortably without distractions.

    Friendly hosts and great conversations. Happy to have met them 😀

    I would have liked it better if the bathroom was attached to my room. But it was no big deal.

    The hosts made me feel completely at home. It was a very a nice, easy and comfortable stay. And the view from the deck was fantastic.

    Disappointed that the bathroom was not ensuite, it doesn’t make it clear that that is the case. I’m in my 70’s and need to get up in the night sometimes more than once, trying to get up the hall was a hassle.

    Room was lovely, nice view, very clean

    My partner and l stayed for a week. Our hosts are welcoming and considerate. The room and bathroom are spotless, which is well above NZ average. We enjoyed our time over there. If you don't drive like us, you may find it a bit hard to walk up the hill each day, but it's a good exercise.
