An absolute pleasure staying in this gem of a rental home, situated on what feels like a giant private lake. There's nothing quite like a shower under a canopy of stars on the back porch, with the sounds of the water lapping all around. A clean and comfortable place to stay with a surprisingly strong Internet connection for uninterrupted work meetings. Just down the way from the ferry across to beautiful drives to the southern kauri forests, or the northern rolling hills and beaches. Peaceful and relaxing. Carol is an amazing host, dedicated and present whenever needed. I appreciated her kindness and flexibility. Would love to return!
