Louise met me at the gate with a warm friendly smile and showed me around, making sure I knew what was available. The house was very comfortable and spacious and was superbly equipped for travellers. All the basics were there and her amazing home-made muesli topped it off. It was a working stay for me so being able to relax and know I would have a peaceful evening was just what I needed. Thanks Louise.

Accommodating Host & Great Stay
Booked last minute for the proximity to Waihirere Marae. Grateful to the host replying and readying the property last minute. House was homely and comfortable with everything we needed. Nespresso capsule machine was an added bonus, yum!

Beautiful rural setting
House was really clean (except for dead insects on the window sills) Beds were so comfy. Coffee machine was a big hit. The view was outstanding. We sat and watched lightening from the deck, so exciting. Everything supplied. Louise was lovely

Pure Relaxation
If you want a nice place to sit back and do nothing this place is for you, clean, tidy and quiet.
Only problem for me was that it's a little far out, and not a lot to do, this isn't a gripe it was just a little too far out for me.

Great getaway location
Great location, easy to find. Not too far away from town central - just enough. Quite, with a view surrounded by vineyards. Clean and had everything we needed. Awesome and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for putting your property on the site.
