Anne's place is in a great location, is very roomy, and has a hot tub! It wasn't walking distance to downtown, but it was a nice short drive. And, we seemed to be on the right side of town for going to all the sites, such as the Redwood forest, Lake Tarawera, Kerosene Creek, etc. It was very easy to get around! The home is very clean, and very large! I think we only ended up using 25% of the space! The window seat is light and comfy, the kitchen large with everything we needed, and the washer (and dryer!) were much appreciated as we caught up on our laundry from our travels. We enjoyed the hot tub one evening after paddleboarding to see glow worms, and it was a nice warm way to end the day! Anne was very communicative and easy to reach with questions. We have a large rental car (Toyota Rav 4), and it was tight driving down the narrow driveway and into the garage, but well worth it given that we could park in the garage and easily load/unload our car, and we didn't have to worry about the car being on the street! That was a bonus we don't get in most airbnbs. We wish we had stayed longer as our next airbnb was nowhere near as nice, clean, and roomy as this one was! Thank you, Anne!
