Even though we arrived one hour later from the check-in time we told Ray, it seems like Ray waited for us and explained about the room with kindness. The place is nice, pretty, clean, and quiet. We stayed 8 different places including hotels on this trip, but Ray's place is one of the best accommodations.
If you are planning to cook on your own, you should buy groceries in the city since we only could find one small store that doesn't carry bread nor OJ. (Not much fresh veggies, either.)
The beach there is nice and quiet, so if you would like to stay near Waikato, I strongly recommend Monty's Self Contained Unit!
