Summary: Sue is an absolute treasure and her beautiful home, cottage and pure New Zealand property is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered for those who seek a peaceful and wonderful time. It was definitely a highlight for our big trip around New Zealand and we are so happy we stayed. We stayed for the week and our family (my wife and two children 5yrs) and we absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time. Some moments on her property brought me back to my childhood as a kid navigating the New Zealand bush. We really look forward to coming home again soon and catching up with Sue and her pet eel Elvis ;) Highly recommend staying at this magical property and meeting the lovely still wild at heart Sue Scott. You won’t regret it! Thank you Sue for the wonderful stay Joshua, Johanna, Elijah and Kaya
