    “This place is a gem.”

    Comfortable couches and beds, and a great dining area. The timber floors walls and ceilings make the interior warm and inviting and the open fire would be welcome in winter. The surrounding bush gives a very tranquil feeling to the back garden especially when the Tui end Kereru are flying around. It is very close to the river which has great trout fishing. Everything is provided that you need. I can't recommend this place highly enough and it is top of my list when I head down that way to hook ...
