Nathan and Tim made us feel instantly welcome and treated us like old friends. Nathan went out of his way to cater to us, including whipping up a superb meal for our own guests and our special diets. Our chats were informative and interesting. The home is full of creative energy, from large scale chutney-bottling to lovely, cozy decor and textile art. We loved sitting outside amidst abundant gardens designed with joy and signature Kiwi quirkiness. It was like visiting my grandmother's house a long time ago, but with a private chef. An indoor upstairs lounge afforded lots of privacy. The hot tub was an unexpected treat, as were the newborn kittens. We hope we can return soon.
The bedrooms are all upstairs. I twisted my knee before we arrived so negotiating them was a bit of work.

Best stay you could ask for 10/10! . The hosts Nathan and Tim encouraged me to relax and take a soak in their beautiful claw foot tub while I waited for my boyfriend. They even gave me bath salts. They provide gorgeous goodie bags that supports the brand forest and bird. The bed was comfortable and cosy and the breakfast was 5 stars with home made preserves, muesli and bread. We ate like kings. They invited us to their local market where they sell their wares. We will be back for sure! Thanks guys Xx

The breakfast was exceptional - homemade bread, granola and preserves. Vast selection of teas or coffee. There are many walks in the parks and along the coast which are very easily accessible from the house. Very quiet setting, beautiful gardens, delicious dinner available with the hosts by arrangement.

I booked it in the plane because my other hostel didn't work out at the end. So short notice and was handled really friendly and welcoming. No problems with check-in, even met a cute cat

Excellent location, quiet and peaceful and you can hear the birds. Lots of vegetables, fruit trees, flowers and not forgetting the bee hives. This is a gold mine plus home cooked comfort food prepared by Nathan, what more can one ask for.

Wonderful breakfast, great location 2 min walk to the bay.
A small thing but the TV in the room could be lower down to make viewing a little easier on the neck, otherwise all good.
