"What an absolutely lovely farmstay! The house is homey and beautiful and well provisioned, and the panoramic views are stunning. The host Emma was incredibly responsive and solicitous. The location is also terrific, very close to Curio Bay where one can see Yellow-Eyed Penguins and Hector’s Dolphins, and on the edge of beautiful Caitlins Forest Park. We really didn’t want to leave. Highly highly recommend!"
