I stayed with Val for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed my time. The homestead is a uniquely beautiful character home and Val is a unique and beautiful hostess too… The single room has a comfortable bed and a cosy heater and electric blanket (which was very welcome as the nights were cold). I liked how it was close to the shared bathroom and kitchen too. Val was attentive and chatty, offering soup, conversation and company. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt very cared for. Definitely a good choice for any travellers with an interest in alternative medicine and lifestyles - but even if that’s not your thing, you’ll find a welcome from this friendly host.

Val is a lovely host, so welcoming and generous. The homestead is beautiful, and is comfortable and relaxing. On a cold winter's night, the warmth and cosiness were very welcome indeed. I would definitely stay there again.

Val's place is honestly one of the greatest places I've had the pleasure to stay at. Val went above and beyond her requirements as a host: she picked me up at the bus station, dropped me off some places when it was really inconvenient for me to get there, she gave me tips and ideas for what to do in Hamilton and where to eat, she served me great breakfast every morning, etc. I also had enriching conversations with her while sipping on tea. The house was exactly what she describes it as, and more: it's very old school, very clean, and quite unique. I stayed there during the winter and the backyard was great: I can only imagine how pleasant it must be during spring and summer! Anyway, I could go on an on about how great of a host she is and how charming her place was!
