Modern house with spa, family feel house settings, luxury furnitures and whitewares, super friendly alpacas seemed always looking at you, waiting for you to say hello and feeding them. Wonderful hosts attended to a couple of small issues immediately after we checked in, although it was after 9pm at night. Highly recommended place to stay in Taranaki!!! ##### Vivienne L.
