Jack's place was terrific. We loved the huge undercover deck (it rained three days of our five-day stay), the super-stylish cabin and the quirky, lovingly-restored Bedford bus, which doubles as a second sleeping space and lounge.
The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom sensational, with a wonderful stone handbasin, giant walk-in shower and rainforest showerhead. For the brave there's a deep, open-air bath on the middle of the outdoor deck too.
The main bedroom is huge, with a sliding door that opens straight on to the grass and amazing views of rolling farmland.
Jack's place is well situated near the main road into Raglan, close enough to be convenient but far away enough to have a great country vibe.
Highlights were the gorgeous linen sheets and freshly picked roses, the rabbit that hopped past each morning, and watching the sun set from one of the sofas on that amazing deck. We loved it.
