"I have always used an 11 point ranking system in life as it leaves room for the truly exceptional. Throughout my life and extensive travels, I have only ranked a handful of things as an 11/11 and today there has been another addition. Kit, along with his amazing farm and cottages, truly embodies the extent of superlative excellence that can be only be found a few times in one’s life. Kit’s hospitality was above and beyond; the cottages were spacious, comfortable, clean, and warm; the farm was the definition of serenity and the alpacas were the highlight of it all. If I was to return to New Zealand or knew anyone traveling, I would recommend that they book this experience without any thought, hindrance or delay as there is no way anyone could find disappointment in such a spectacular place. We had a rough drive coming in and ended up being quite late; when we told Kit he turned on the heaters, left breakfast for us and did as much as possible to make sure we had an amazing stay! 11/11."
