View was stunning, nice to see lush green farm life areas. Stargazing at night is perfect lots more starts than East Auckland. The bed sheets were so comfy I've purchased myself a pair. Love the environmentally friendly off grid bio toilet. Awesome selection of DVDs would happily stay again to binge watch some more. Amenities, surf beaches and walking tracks are a short drive. The sunrise in the morning is beautiful in between the chilly foggy mornings :)Great communication with the host, happy to help if anything is need more the stay.
