What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! The host was very clean, decorated beautifully and had everything we needed to cook our food and take in the beauty of our surroundings. They provided a lovely breakfast basket for us too! Brent was a great host.
We 100% recommend this property to anyone who wants to explore this stunning part of NZ. Our only regret is not having more time to utilise the kayaks and take in the sights of the river.The house is very modern and comfortable and where very surprised with a well stocked fridge of homemade goodies for our breakfast the next day. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive to any questions and requests.Would love to return here soon.
