Independent in Minginui

"Absolutely adored this lovingly prepared guest suite. The rooms were clean and so thoughtfully decorated with found and antique items. It was lovely to be able to slide open the entire wall of the kitchen (papered with local newspaper from the 1960s--very amusing reading) for a sunny morning coffee with the sheep right across the fence. The sheep were very quiet--didn't make a single noise at night. We loved the claw-footed tub and the fully-equipped kitchen, the incredible stars at night and the very, very quite rural setting. This spot is a close as you could get to both of the region's geothermal parks and the commercial hot spring soaks (as well as the natural ones). Ideal location for a peaceful getaway. We would have loved it even more with a firmer mattress."
