    Ruth & Gary were very welcoming and very friendly hosts, and so were the adorable attention-seeking pet cat and dog. Every convenience was looked into and explained well. The accomodation was well-stocked. The place was very spacious. The gardens...

    We thought because it was Air BNB - there would be cereals etc provided - but there weren't - so we didn't have breakfast on the first day and bought our own on the second day. - so that should be made clearer on the website.

Ruth & Gary
Situated in a beautifully mature 2 hectare garden which you are welcome to explore. Private, comfortable space with tiled bathroom and granite benches in kitchen. Dishwasher, heated towel rail, wood burner, bbq, gas hobs, microwave, and well stocked with a range of kitchen utensils and basic condiments for a comfortable self-catering stay.
We are a retired couple who enjoy gardening and travel. We are supported by our dog, Myf, and cat, Smoke who help greet you when you arrive and will check in for a few pats over your stay.
We are in a rural and lifestyle block community, but only a few kms to basic amenities in Manakau, or 7km to Otaki for Supermarkets and shopping. We are also a short driving distance to great walks and off road bike rides, beautiful white sand beaches, and swimming holes in rivers. Generally it is very peaceful, but we are near working farms, so occassionally there can be a bit of noise.
