Our host had a fire going on our arrival, and both hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The scenery is really lovely, and this place is excellent for a rest. It is also close to the hot pools, and we were able to go into Whakatane for coffees and shopping, and a bush walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
