    Loved the location (secluded rural outlook), house and the hosts. The hosts were really helpful, and the 6 beds was exactly what we needed for a large group of singles. Lots of nice touches.

    Warm, inviting house. Dave, who lives upstairs, was very accommodating, conducting a jam session with our guitar obsessed son and guiding us through a breath work session. Any items missing were provided quickly upon request.

    The solidness of the mud brick dwelling had a very relaxing effect and all slept well. And a change from creaky NZ builds . Host Dave was friendly and helpful. The woodburner for winter was a major draw and reason we booked
