Summary: Good communication before our stay which was really appreciated. From the moment we walked into the living area and saw the view we knew we had picked a great place to stay. The securely fenced garden was an ideal playground for my disabled grandson.The family are already planning the next trip. Oh, and the one footed weka is "Hoppy". Just don't tell them that the "kiwi" they spotted one evening was actually a rabbit.
