You are thirty minutes from Hobbiton, another thirty from the lovely city of Cambridge and Hamilton. What a zoo. What wonderfully organised cities with plenty to do with your kids.
Jane’s place is big, has lots of drawers and closets to store your stuff, a workable but tight kitchen, amazing grounds worth a fifteen minute stroll. Three ponds, cute ducks, and decent autonomy make this one of the best air b&b experiences we’ve had.
Washing clothes is a bit of a chore because you need to impose yourself on the host, and garbage (perhaps a New Zealand thing) is abstruse.
All in all, it felt like we were at a satellite resort with a few key amenities.
Well recommended.
