We stayed at some superb B & Bs during a 4 week trip to New Zealand but this was outstanding in every way. A great location does not necessarily mean good service- often the reverse seems to be true- but in this case the friendliness and helpfulness of Gail and Trevor make it outstanding; they are areally nice couple and chatting to them was a pleasure particularly over a glass or two of wine on the balcony. It is some distance from the nearest restaurants but They take care of both making a reservation and arranging for the local taxi transport - the driver is another great character. At first sight getting out of the car parking area down asteep slope looks difficult but Trevor takes care of turning your car round for you, the rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast is superb. There is a well stocked honesty bar and free ( if rather slow )internet access) In addditon Gail did some much need laundry for us and then didn't charge. A wonderful place to relax and we would have loved to stay longer than two nights.
