10/10 Excellent

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Nice big room with a veranda looking down to the Pacific. Gloriously peaceful in beautiful surroundings. You can walk around the farm if you wish. Very large, comfortable communal area for use by the guests. Our hosts were unobtrusive but available 24 hours a day if required. I would recommend this to anyone. Five stars all the way.
