The property is very tastefully maintained with lots of cosy areas to relax, read, chat, or simply sit with a cuppa and enjoy the bucolic views. Kim is a thoughtful and gracious host, very responsive and welcoming. We went with 6 adults and 2 young children and had a wonderful relaxing stay as we explored northland over the weekend.

Kim was an excellent host and communicated so well right from the time of booking to leaving the house. It was a smooth check-in and the place was very comfortable. We really appreciated the place as it has a unique character and the location was wonderful. The kitchen was very well equipped and the rest of the amenities were well stocked. The neighbour came to check if we needed anything, that was very special. I would highly recommend this house, if you want to a place to relax and enjoy the nature. Thanks, Edmonds Namburi
